My updated engine bay pics (Carbing, ARC, Motordyne)
So, I decided to spend a few bucks and update my engine bay with a couple new parts. Nothing too exciting, just an ARC cooling panel and oil and radiator caps, a Carbing strut tower bar with the master cylinder damper, and a Motordyne 5/16" plenum spacer for a bit more power.
Here are a few pics, mostly of the strut bar, as I couldn't find many pics of it when I was deciding whether or not to buy this one. Also, the strut bar works great with the 5/16" plenum spacer, which was something I couldn't find out before I bought it.
All comments are welcome, good and bad. Thanks for looking.
First, here are a few pics showing the details of the strut bar, taken before installation. It really is a beautiful piece!
In this pic you can see the ARC cooling panel and radiator and oil caps, and the upper and lower plenum removed:

Here are the pics of the installed bar:
In these pics you can see the little piece of plastic I cut for the master cylinder brace to fit correctly. It's a tiny piece and very easy to remove and cut.
And here's the finished pic. I guess I forgot to take any of the plenum spacer itself, but there really isn't much to see.

This part is the master cylinder damper. It sits next to the master cylinder and reduces the flex when you're braking, which should result in better brake feel and possibly more braking force, but this is just what I read. I really didn't drive it hard and try it out after I installed it, so I can't comment on the real world noticability of this feature.

I got it from Louis over at Invision Performance. I've ordered from him a couple times and the service has always been great, and fast. Here's the link to their thread about the bar in the marketplace:
