    Re: polishing intake manifold, TB, and alternator

    I would love to do something like this, but every time I detail my engine compartment it only stays clean for a few days. This car is my daily driver. With all of the road construction and rain down here it gets dirty right away.

      its my DD also (and its always this clean :D), all you have to do is give it a good rub down with a rag, maybe some armorall on the hoses and plastic parts if you feel like it every 3 days or so and it will stay clean, if you do this though you gotta polish the aluminum once a month or so to keep it shining.

              Holy **** that looks nice as hell. I'm still tryin to really figure out what scheme I'm gonna do under the hood and what you've done looks emaculate. I'm leaning towards something else but damn that looks too good not to consider.

                haha nope, its just a black battery. i did remove some stickers from its top...but thats all. i do know some people that have painted their batteries though...like a green interstate battery that was just plain ugly to black, turned out pretty nice though!

                whatre you thinkin of doing blizzard?

                          I was thinking of a metallic red scheme to go along with the suspension parts I'm buying.. and I plan on putting some dark red stripes down my car.. The black 98 that is. But I'm a total sucker for chrome and alike. Maybe I could get some of those stainless rear lettering inserts and put a layer of a nice red on those. I'm thinking almost blood red.

                                In theory.. but I'm worried the engine bay could turn out to look cheap as hell. We'll see though.
