man, that's super nice, especially with the arc box. i always look at pics of your car on ht and stuff.
oh, is your upper rad hose at a weird kink or is it just the picture?
i've got mine gutted from the front seats back right now but i am about sick of hearing my rear suspension on these bumpy roads where i live. haha.

I like it all except for the wheels, mirrors, sideskirts, color, and lack of interior...

That ARC box just is "it" for me. I don't know why. Thats a great engine bay though.
Are those NRG hood shocks? If so, what fitment are they from?

man, do you ever smell fumes from your battery with it being in the trunk? seems since it ever got colder, there's a veeeeeery faint smell of fumes in my car with no rear interior.
