What do ya think. I painted the cover, b/c it was starting to look pretty ugly. Also, I didn't do a complete polish job on it, b/c I thought it might look kinda dumb on a nonpolished intake. I'm not too worried about any of it though, b/c I'm getting a new intake not to far down the road.

Let me know what you think.

p.s. I really don't care if someone doesn't like it, so if you don't like it just tell me. also, I'm thinking about getting rid of the stickers??

Looks pretty good. Rio had one on his car some time ago and it had some black on some spots and it looked pretty good too.

i was going to paint the sides black, but i just said forget about it! what i should do is do the stripes above and below where it says 5.0 in black. i just now thought about that. that would look really good, but like i said, i'm not too worried about it.

i posted them with just my attachments, but then i ran out of room, so i deleted them for my attachments, but i could still see the pics. Just the link at then bottom went away. Maybe when i did that, it made in impossible for everyone else to see.

Not that it looks bad, but you can spend a decent amount of time, and VERY LITTLE money, and clean that bay up really nicely with a Dremel and some scouring wheels (especially the ps bracket).

You can also polish up the plate pretty easily. Your engine bay has a lot of potential in terms of "looks", If you are not at the stage to spend money on power now.

GOOD LUCK!

yeah, i know. i just haven't had any time yet. i just got out of school 2 weeks ago and have worked pretty much every day. next week, i am working 85 hours out of state, so you can see how busy i am. but i would like some tips though. thanks. i am thinking about getting some things powdercoated, but i don't know what yet or what color. also, i don't know my exact plans down the road.

p.s. my car is extremely clean for a 1995 with 114,000 miles on it. it's my baby. my girlfriend knows that too. hehe
