| Definitely looks 100 times better! Especially in a white car, a clean engine bay makes all the difference. | |

| Looks really clean, it might be me being fussy but the engine coolant bottle is the only thing letting it down, good work | |

| Yeah Chris, the only thing i did do was the under side off my hood and that will be done another day because i didn't have time to take it off. Also i didn't want it to drip all over my valve cover. Bridgy, i know man =( i noticed it after i put all the stuff away. Ill clean it when i go and change my intake manifold. | |

| Is it dirty? It looks like just brown coolant on the inside, so there's nothing to do about it? I would suggest to paint it, but then you can't see the coolant level lol. | |

| Luckily it doesnt take much to take the coolant reservoir tank off and wash it out (being sure to rinse it out well with water). I had to do the same (I also painted the braket it sits on because mine was rusted).
Though I am very impressed with your homemade front lip. Looks pretty good | |
