Cool SHOWOFF: your engine bay!

Scanning the forum I didnt come across one thread on peoples engine bays.
I think it would be great to check out what everyones car look like under the hood, so lets show them off with some nice pics
maybe a little info of what you have done under there as well, so lets post them up!!!

Agreed,
It's beter to update every now and then.
I say put up or shut up.
A pic that is.

Some rather see a new pic than rather hear the same people say the same old sh!t

Aaron has bumped plenty of old threads so he knows how to search.
just saying, a member from 07 knows how to work the search button

But instead of adding to the redundancy, bumping an old thread on this exact subject is perfectly reasonable. More so than starting a new thread.

High-temp Dupli-color from autozone. Trick is to clean and lightly sand the plastics first then use a primer before paint and clear. The paint won't stick if you don't. The silver matches really well too.

Yessir, I am driving it daily atm. The compression ring in cylinder 5 was melted due to lean condition in that cylinder caused by a bad injector. Best case scenario for the situation.
