WOW! i love what you have done. I think what you have done is awesome looking. It looks better than showroom quality from what i can see of your pictures. Your engine compartment looks cleaner than the outside of my car. (paint wise). Keep up the work. You are the kind of person that makes others like me jealous.

The first picture is a before picture. I took the engine out and I am currently redoing it. I have hidden the wires and repainted the engine compartment. I can't wait to get the engine back from the machine shop so I can install it and be able to drive the car.

I would go w/ a semi gloss. I think that would look really good. Ive never seen a red fan shroud but that might actually look good too .... just my .02

Nothings going to happen to it, its sitting inside of the support so it wont go anywhere. You will be fine. You can either get them brackets polished (I think they make them chrome) or you can get a nice radiator cover, they look really good too.

Hey just have a quick question for 1990mustanggt, I see that you have the same coil overs as me. Do yours squeak and moan like all hell too or are yours relatively silent? My coil overs **** me off sometimes. They just squeak and squeak. I love the handling that I have but the noise is driving me nuts.

To everyone else, I'll post some pics and a vid of my car after this weekend when the turbo goes in.
