So, guts permitting I'm planning on gutting my engine bay this weekend.

The only real changes I'm pondering are:

- Chrome ceramic coating the: intake, Long-tubes, accessory brackets
- Paint the block gun metal to match my wheels
- Tuck some wiring to clean it up a little
- Put battery in the trunk

You definitely should do it. And let me help cause I feel handicapped when it comes to doing this stuff. Could use a coaching

Car will stay black after a lot of flip-flopping lol But I do 100% want a clean smooth engine bay, I'm ordering the panels today. Engine will be gun metal and lots of ceramic chrome like this...

Bringing the upper/lower intakes, all the accessory brackets, 3G housing (hopefully smog pump housing too), pulleys, valve covers and long tubes to get done.

One thing I'm strongly considering is converting from dizzy to EDIS.
Please do a write-up if you go ahead with this. Have considered the same.
