Post your engine pics
I’m curious as to what people did under their hoods and love to pop the bonnet to look. Post your pics and what you have so far.
I have a cravenspeed 17% pulley, M7 intercooler boots, minimania plug wires, jcw colder plugs, and an HPS intake.

It's not too bad.....it's just a lot of parts, pieces, nuts, bolts, and wiring to keep track of. Take lots of pictures as you take everything apart. Also....having very small hands helps (I don't).

i have a wife who doesnt mind getting her hands dirty when needed, i just have to walk her through stuff since she doesnt have a clue about these things... the small hands thing is a must sometimes when working on these cars... i will be pulling my whole front end apart in the next couple months to change radiator and all hoses to red silicone as well as change oil in the s/c while its apart and replace all gaskets... will check out more stuff while apart to see if i need anything else...

What’s with the deal with the eyes in the fender liner I keep seeing pop up? It’s kind of cool and kind of dorky at the same time. I like it.

It is a Gen 1 thing, you wouldn't understand!
Or maybe you would?

There is a lady on etsy that sells them and I believe on M7 tuning. I got mine from the lady, as you can customize them.
