Not criticizing anything. Just wanted to clarify that your mods weren't really performance mods. People have different priorities when modding but I do like how your engine bay looks. A lot less drab than the stock black hoses.

If it were up to me I wouldn't spend hundreds of dollars on colored hoses and wires If I had a buncha money laying around however, I would!

If you have an automatic and purchased the 10 wire kit it does make a hell of a difference..for my car it did without question...the improved throttle response alone moves it into the "performance mods" category IMO

Fair enough I didn't spend that much. More than half was for my
dual exhaust. Needed to do something and it was spread out for
a few months. There is a lot of people on this forum with a lot
more money than I have. Thanks about the engine bay I could
have degreased it, the bright sunlight helped the picture. I have
113,000 miles, trying to keep it clean. Not just the car, gonna log
out now thanks for the input dude.

Hey last thing I thought I would mention. All this together is part
of a stage one build. I got it from import tuner magazine. Dyno
sheets and all they say 18 Hp total. By the way they registered
2.6 hp for the grounding kit. I will check back later goin' to the
store for a soda pop.

Not a radiator, it's an oil cooler.

Picked up my painted replacement fender and bumper from the shop and installed it today, along with some 5000K bulbs. It makes me smile from ear to ear, like this: ^_________________^


Ended up with a couple extra screws after the install, hate when that happens haha
Taking it back to the shop tomorrow though to buff out some runs in the paint and the idiot painted the grill red so he's going to fix that too
