Hey guys - after all my annoying questions about installs, etc.
I just wanted to show two shots of my engine bay. Finally got in the DC Sports header and the AEM Tru-Time Pulleys. Added a painted valve cover and some hosing and that's the finished product. Please tell me your opinions. Hehe - just don't be too mean :-)
I was just tired of looking at a plain engine bay and decided to spice it up a little bit. So far I've gotten nothing but compliments. I mean I know some will call it ricey but hey, everybody is different, that's what makes my car stand out, ya know.
imo the yellow will get dirty quick. i feel that in my car if it does not have a purpose or fuction its a waste of money and needs to go. its good you put your time into doing it.
i like simple things yet others like a showy thing.
Honestly it doens't get dirty at all. I keep my engine bay spotless though, so it really never has time to collect dirt. Simple Green de-greaser works wonders. You just spray and the dirt comes off. As you can see in the pics everyhting is shiny - even the paint under my hood is waxed :-) My car's body is all messed up so I figured that I would just hook up the engine since that still looks good. Hehe - anybody else with opinions?
I was actually thinking of getting the Neuspeed one. I heard its a little stronger, plus it comes in black with yellow lettering and that will match the color of the car and the tubing which should look great.
Very clean man, very clean! It looks good, the only suggestion I have would be to paint the valve cover and CAI another color that goes better with yellow (I like black
Don't take this the wrong way, it looks good!
one more thing, Get the Neuspeed bar! I love mine and it looks great
Disregard my previous post, I see ya have red pulleys too... maybe get some red plug wires... I wonder what it would look like with the distributor cap, spark plug cover, and DOHC VTEC letters painted yellow? Or maybe paint the DOHC VTEC letters and spark plug cover white so it goes with the red/white scheme of the CAI... okay, somebody stop me
Its something that I got from ATV (you know the one on the Hempstead Turnpike). Since you're from Tech9Tuning you know what I'm talking about. Its across the street from club Luxe. Any way - it was like 30 bucks or something for the hoses and they also carry the covers. You can E-Mail me and meet up at the usualy Tech9Tuning meetup near the old White Castle and I can show you what it looks like.
