It's back and I have alot more planned in the future. For now, I'll show you guys what the engine bay looks like
Aem pulleys, custom blue silicon hose kit, DC battery tie, kamikaze ceramic header, neuspeed bar, blacked out optima battery, oil stick, ps cap, and + terminal cover. Much more to come, just waiting on parts and trying to get the car running like it was. Alot of broken stuff to fix... anyway here are a couple of pics. Got the nokya H11 fog bulbs from ebay installed, along with OEM door sills from Indonesia (big thanks to Zen_Master). Trunk looks great, everything shaved for $200, remote trunk popper is going on soon
And because my car would be nothing without this site...silver 7thgen stickers are on.

oh dude I thought those were the plastic hose "coverings".. nevermind those are badass!
maybe I'll have to go to advance auto or somewhere and check out some red ones
I was gonna prolly get em b4 the meet neway and put some simple green to work, but maybe i'll get em monday or something im feeling lazy today :P
good job w/ painting the oil cap, ps, terminal.. you could always paint a small red + on the terminal and still have most of it black, that'd look ok, but the colors definitly flow really well!!!

Thanks guys. Okay let me explain about stuff. The hose kit I got from autozone. It's the whole tube so I had to cut a slit with scissors to put em on. I ended up buying two kits to do everything I wanted so that's $30 total.
Kamikaze header...definately worth the $300. I had to make the ports bigger to match the cyl head, and there's a slight leak from using an old gasket, but it works very well. It's more of a low/mid range header I noticed. Definately helped though. Go get it from bigjoshracing.com

When I get the aem cam gear put on, I'm having that tuned along with pullies and header to see how much hp they make.
Door sills are an oem part only available overseas and only for the sedan. The extra pair Zen_Master is selling doesn't fit the coupe.

Haha thanks guys. Most mods now are gonna be for the engine. The outside is done. Oh did anyone notice they also shaved off all the painted pinstripes.
Back shaving was cheap cause they were repainting the entire rear and sides already. And they subtracted some from new emblem money. Still waiting on the visual bulbs for signals.

I just got strobes for the front parking light I wasn't using.
