Yeah I agree they all kinda look the same ... check out my shiny strut bar, isn't it pretty? LOL


Engine bay parts:

- JoeZ D-AFI Intake Tube in black
- aFe Pro Dry S Drop-in Filter
- ISS Forged RMI Intake Scoops ISF Blue
- Cusco JDM Front Strut Bar
- NRG Titanium Blue Fender/Bolt Washer Engine Bay Kit
- Anodized Blue Aluminum Engine Oil Cap (Ebay special w/ carbon fiber insert)

And what cant be seen that is under the hood:

- PPE Engineering Ceramic Headers (Jet Hot Black Coated)

Your Cusco bar (notably the sticker placement), the eBay oil cap, and scoops all match my engine bay! Hahaha xD
I'd post mine, but it's just more plastic to show off

^ Yes you have to trim the plastic engine covers if you want to reinstall them to give it a factory look. Or I've seen others run with no engine covers but it makes the engine bay look naked. I updated my first post with the parts under the hood.
