I love silver headers. I have always envisioned having a 24v swap look like this.

[Jand3rson]

what u doing about the front of the rad support?

You mean as far as the condition of the paint? I got to thinking about that after I took this pic, I'm going to just try to clean it up as best I can, you don't really see it anyway. But it can definitely be made a lot better looking than it is now!

[ShowStopper]

Nice ..its all about the detail. :)

[Jparkr]

scotch bright it and then go by a tiny can of POR15 and paint the front of the core support. Its easy as hell and you are going to be glad you did.

That engine bay is just dreamy and I really didn't think the bed liner idea was going to pan out.

[AndrewBird]

Why not just bedliner the core support? It's under the hood and behind the grills, so it's not like you can really see it. I was actually ind of surprised you didn't bedliner it with the rest of the engine bay.

[dnick]

holy crap i wanna see the final result!

and hear it lol

Got the other section of the M3 firewall covers today, thanks Levent.

You know what would make this picture look good? Some camber plates.

No real need for camber plates, especially not to "look good".

[phreshkid]

Well yeah I was thinking about the "look good" part not the fact that you don't actually need them.

I thought the newest engine bay shot was amazing but that cover makes it even better, can't wait to see with everything in place and high res! Amazing work!

[MR 325]

Shit dude, put an oil cap on.

Weird. I had to trim my M3 wiring cover to clear the intake manifold. Your manifold seems to sit a bit further forward, but that doesn't make sense.
