That engine bay looks really cramped. I hate that crap. It looks like we have more room in our 7th gen bays than that car..... I dont like the double doors either. They should have kept it a coupe. Instead of taking the saturn approach.

Exactly, for instance my Pro 5 stock intake box is HUGE and takes up a good chunk of my engine bay. After i took it out and put in a CAI there's tons of room.

Much of that stock plastic stuff can be taken out and replaced.

There is tons of room in that engine bay, the engine itself is tiny. All you're seeing is a stupid plasitc cover and the air intake.
