Default engine before and after

well yesterday i spent a few hours detailing my engine bay so i figure id throw up some before and after pics for you guys. that aircraft stripper shit that everyone talks about works like a charm but is but kinda freaked me out cause it was actually sizzling quietly like a pan of bacon, no shit. also gives you nice little chemical burns (dont ask how i know)

i think it came out pretty good and im not ashamed to pop my hood anymore because it doesnt look like i just pulled it out of junkyard

i have a header for it but didnt have time yesturday to go over it with never dull and put it on

a header would drastically improve the appearance of your engine bay, as well as provide a small amount of power

...or a nice turbo manifold
