your engine bay looks super clean w/ all the covers.. your intake and ngk () spark plug wires are bad ass looking, no lie


simple yet powerful.. all you need is some stainless steel headers!

Looks awesome mang!

To clean it did you just spray that crap on there and forget it? or rinse it off with the hose?

Looks good! Very clean! I feel like washing my undersides now. I'd be worried about something shorting out... with my luck.

yea, wires only took like 10 mins to install.
and plugs should only take like 30, b/c the rears are a PITA.

As for the cleaning....

1 - go to the DIY car wash and use the tire and wheel cleaner.
2 - high pressure rinse
3 - while its still wet, spray foaming tire wet over EVERY thing
4 - let sit for a couple of minutes
5 - use old rag to detail and rub that foam around.

viola!!!! clean as a whistle.

I never cover CAI or battery or anything, just try to keep the high pressure away from those parts. If you have a SRI, you probably want to cover it.

You might get the distributer wet, then your car wont start. Just give it a few minutes, and it will.
