help ts|s clean up his engine

**third_shift|studios** · 05-01-2008, 11:06 AM

what can i do to pretty this thing up? I make all kinda cool dress-up items, but i just feel my engine is so stock looking that i need to start by reducing some shit. Here in KY we have no emissions...you guys tell me what to do and i'll do it

anodize the valve covers and throttle body......like red?

A few things that I have done and would suggest are remove the EGR and AIR systems. Cleans up the engine bay quite a bit.

I would also suggest for appereance sakes go with some color. I am using red for most of my stuff. Though since my car is blue I can get away with black as well

A few things that are nice to have and that will help make things look a bit better would be a nice catch can (which is nice to have anyways and even you an install it in a short amount of time

) and some MSD wires.

You can also put shiney stuff all over the engine bay, but for me those are not that practical, and beyond vavle covers I find that it can be overdone, but I don't like to have to wear sunglasses whenever I open the hood in the sun.

custom frc's

**iwanta69rs** · 05-01-2008, 11:58 AM

!cruise control
!AIR
!EGR
Wire Mod
Billet Dipstick Handle
Black Wire Loom on everything
Billet Oil Cap
Billet Brake Reservoir Cover and Cap
FRC's
and polish up that A/C stuff

remove/paint black anything yellow or brightly colored cause that distracts the eye

you pick the color scheme

**Weston_24** · 05-01-2008, 12:06 PM

I think FRC's and removing all the EGR and air stuff helps a ton

**Spaz** · 05-01-2008, 12:22 PM

fire...

get custom "Trans am" covers (like the vettes got) to cover the valve covers...

**shady milkman** · 05-01-2008, 12:45 PM

most people forget...get a strut bar...red or something like that...all my aftermarket parts will be red..suspension wise and chassis wise

**astyles** · 05-01-2008, 01:11 PM

oh and stickers....cause they add horsepower...

**SandmanWs7** · 05-01-2008, 02:16 PM

Oops just saw my birdie is missing a part. Yours wont be

**Weston_24** · 05-01-2008, 02:30 PM

Do you make these yourself? And how much do you charge?

**SandmanWs7** · 05-01-2008, 03:01 PM

Here it is fixed.

And yes I make these myself. As for pricing I will have to discuss with my partner (ts|s). This one was made from a scrap piece that I had in the shop for awhile. Pricing will come very soon. IF we can get a group to buy some that would be best.

**Weston_24** · 05-01-2008, 03:08 PM

Ok well if you wouldn't mind letting me know about a price when you find out, my e-mail is weston_24@msn.com
