Pretty much i dont want it to look bland. I want it to look good when i open it up and people to say wow. Show quality style ya know. Dont say supercharger cuz i already got it...just waiting on some parts. This is how it looks so far. Any ideas?

Pledge on your rubber parts....

i was trying armor all wipes but they didnt help. I want it to be clean, no joke.

Powder coat the the front cover and altenator housing, relocat the battery to the trunk, get a CAI that extends into the fenderwell and paint the same color as the altenator and front cover, get some aluminum valve covers, get rid of the EGR crap, get some billet castor/camber plates, and that should cover it.

If you want your rubber to look good, use a thick furniture/wood polish.

You can always take the wiring harness out of the car and wrap it in a different color tape or just freshen it up with new black tape. The EGR is the hideous looking rusted part hanging on the right side (in the picture) of your upper plenum.

It's the exhaust gas recirculation system. If you are worried about the environment or have emissions testing in your state it probably wuldn't be a good idea. However, if you don't, you simpy need to remove the EGR, the EGR control box located directly behind the upper plenum, cap the outlet from the exhaust manifold and associated vacuum lines and get a tune to turn all the EGR codes off in the ECM.

It is not going to give you any power gains in the short run. However, it will keep your intake cleaner on the inside, and it's a big pain to install, so I just mainly scrapped mine so I won't hae to deal with it every time I pull the motor.

[Seabee]

do you guys think those wire covers, the plastic that wraps around, looks gay? like if i got something other than black, like blue. Ive seen it before but kinda looks tacky. Opinions?

[svtkidd23]

No problem. Just let me know if you ever need any info. I have been through these 2V's so much that it's retarded.

[AggieStang]

Yea is there anything you can do with the wires? They bug the shit out of me.
