Here is another pic. The plate on top of my intake is off because i stripped off the old paint that was on there and i'm trying to polish it up.

it looks good but i saw that you bolted the cover plate for the CAI to the rubber bolts you can unscrew them and mount the plate the fender and it will look a lot better that way too

looks good man!

take some fine grit sandpaper or a couple of scotch-brite pads to the powersteering pump, alternator, tensioner, and a/c.

rub all the corrosion off, than use some metal polish. you will have to repeat this several times but it will look really good in the end.

I wish that my motor bay looked like that. Since my car has been sitting for the past year n a half it is loaded w/ leaves, dirt, and everything else. I have been trying to clean it up but I just cant seem to get the time. I have other important things to worry about... like getting it running
BTW, It looks great.
