    Engine

    Ok, so while my engine has been apart I have pretty much gone paint crazy with my engine bay. I think they came out looking really nice and the pictures don't really do them justice.
    BTW, I can be anal about details.
    Intake Manifold

    Air box and AFM

    Yes, throttle body

    Valve Cover

    I also painted my fuel rail aluminum just to try and break up some of the black. I have pretty much been cleaning parts and making them shine, the ones that you can see. All of the bolts/nuts that go on the top of the engine have also been thoroughly(sp?) cleaned to look polished/brushed.
    I will post pics once everything is put in the engine bay.

        Thanks mystikal.

        I know not everyone is a fan of the painted roundel, but I like it.

          Yeah, I like the airbox too. Not sure about the TB, and the painted roundels either, but the airbox is cool.

                  Thanks everyone, as soon as I get the head rebuilt, finally got the freakin camshaft out, I will take pics of everything going in, and finished.

                  Oh yea, I also got some "Smiley" style ellipsoids that I smoked to replace my crappy sealed beams. :D I got to test them tonight and all I can say is: :shock: wow. There is such a difference in the light output that it is scary that I was actually driving around with those crap bag sealed beams. Wow.
