Engine Bay and Grille Pix
All of the blue hoses are silicone. HOWEVER, I didn't replace any lines. I simply put them over the existing lines...silicone breaks down over time when oil or any oil-based substance comes into contact with it. The neon isn't too bright, so thats really what it looks like. I have another 10" neon lying around. I might put the other one in today, not sure. If I do, I will take another pic, which should be brighter.

Which one? The upper is just black gutter guard I got at the hardware store for $2.50. There are instructions on here somewhere on how to do the upper. The lower is mesh I got online, cut, primed, painted, and custom fit into the lower opening. They are both DIY jobs that aren't hard to do at all.
AC_DADDY: Try refreshing the page or something, I can see them.
duffduffxx: I got the mesh on eBay, but you can get it at most stores online. What I did was make a cardboard template of the opening. Then cut the mesh to the template. Then, I cut the aluminum using wire cutters, among other tools. Then, I primed the aluminum using a metal Rust-Oleum primer. Then I painted it using all-weather Rust-Oleum paint. (BTW, both paints were in spray cans). Next I put the mesh over the opening and secured with dark wire.

Looks really nice...tastefully done! I've never seen the engine bay of a 1st Gen TL. I was surprised to see a distributor...I thought all higher end Acura models had individual coils. Oh well, still awesome!
