Default Engine Bay

Back to focusing on the Engine in terms of appearance and performance. So far added a few things:


Taken last week: BOSS Strut Bar, C&L Tuner, Chrome Dress Up CAP Kit, and painted the Engine Cover Ingot Silver..


Taken yesterday: Added a home-made battery fuse cover. Had a friend cut me out a piece of sheet metal. Had an extra black 5.0 emblem. Bought some 3mm Tape. Total price $2.00 project. 2 minutes to put together and slap on..

a_lopez1975,

Great work, Your engine bay looks sick!

I am glad to hear your transactions with AM went smoothly, let me know if you need any assistance in the future!

Like i said earlier,I really like it but I have a suggestion,remove that ugly yellow sticker on the radiator cover.It comes off easy and there isn't any good info on it anyway.

@alan: yes, i plan on painting the coil Cover Silver.. Also going to paint the front radiator Cover Silver and have black Racing stripes on it and on the strut Bar.. But this modification may have to wait a little, since im in the process of lowering the Stang. Plus the wife is checking my Bank Statements for deductions from American Muscle and CJ Ponys, lol..

@Tommy: thanks, and thats True...

@Dan: thanks!!! Well the chrome Oil dip Stick is next on the menu... ;0)

@wana: lol!! Yeah that yellow Sticker is annoying as hell and will be coming Off this Weekend!!!
