Default Windstar!

I got my windstar mod done saturday night in time for the car show. Here's a cell phone pic from night time. i got the intake from a local u pull it for $26, spent around $85 in random parts at the auto store and home depot (needed some spacers/sheet metal and bolts) and was able to re use my factory throttle body, future upgrade will be a 65mm from VAP. The "Make it pretty" stage starts either this weekend or middle of next week. any questions or suggestions on ways to make it look nicer?

lol yeah i know it's horribly dirty under there, cleaning it is part of the "make it pretty" stage. and YES! substantial increase in power output especially in the low end. factory intake is so horrible for flow

Driver a single port then talk to me about horrible flow. Good looking mod, always like that look.

Is it safe to spray water in the engine bay? To clean out all that dirt!
