RE: Under Hood Mods (PICS)
Something to remember about those nice billet caps. I lost my brake cap after replacing my pads with hawks. I made the mistake of going to a friends house to do work on my car. Big mistake. Long story short, my brake reservoir cap couldn't be located.
Ordered one of those nice billet caps and when it arrived it had no gasket. Contacted the distributor and informed them about the "complete" system they advertise.
They told me that most folks just use the gasket from their original plastic cap. I had to manufacture one myself. fyi....

Here's a little detail I thought would be nice. I bought these thumb nuts from McMaster Carr for a couple of bucks each:
They go here:
They screw on the studs the intake condum slides onto and look like this when installed:

The thumb nuts I used are part number 96445A360 Metric 18-8 SST Round Knureled Thumb Nut M5 X 0.8mm. Here is the link to the McMaster Carr site. Plug in the part number and it will take you to the item:
