Hey, everyone, here's "Phase 1" of my Engine Bay Dress-up thread. I'm going to go with the "Carbon and Blue" theme. So here's the first few pics:





blue T1R Silicone Hoses, blue wire looms and blue silicone hose covers will be next.

 

i really like that cf cover. i need to get me one of those. love the blue and cf theme. but that battery is HUGE!!!

 

OEM battery my friend! I thought about changing to something smaller like the T1R one, but I've got HID headlights and foglights, plus my G-Tech Pro running all the time so I need something that has lots of capacity. (plus, I've got my PSP playing a movie every once in a while.)

 

Hey, do you have GB on the cf engine cover?

 

I got it from Zeta Products

 

Oh, haha i thought you made it yourself like the other CF stuff =P.

 

Don't forget about a battery tie down!

 

yea, i still have my oem battery in my car too. i have a spoon battery but im waiting on my friend to make a bracket for it and im going to mount it in the rear for some weight distrobution. i have hid's as well, is my new battery not going to support the voltage load? i think it should be ok.

 

I like! Get/Keep a theme going.. keep it nice and clean too unlike my dusty ass engine bay

 

looks good.Im loving that cf engine cover

 

NICE!!!!!! Me love it!!!!

How's the ITR Filter performing? Any reviews on it?

 

The only reason I'm hesitant in replacing the OEM battery is because I've got SO MUCH stuff running off of it. It should be fine, I'm just paranoid.




LOVE IT!!! Great sound! Great performance gains! I HIGHLY recommend getting the T1R Carbon B-Max Intake

 

it's looking good

 

Whats the blue box running of your power and ground?

 

T1R Voltage Stabilizer

 

Thankx for the quik reply. What else you have running off the Batt. that you would need that?

 

Both HID systems are grabbing power directly off of the battery.

 

Makes sense. How difficult is that to install? how much? and is it worth it price/quality over just getting bulbs?

 

VERY EASY!! Took like 10 min. The Earthing/Grounding kit was more difficult to install.

 

thankx again. I ordered my '08 Milano Red Sport 5spd, so im just thinking of some minor things before winter hits Chi-town. You have a company you ordered from and what else should i know before purchasing HID's?
