I'm still messing with my interior but the owner before me didn't check all of his hoses and let some oil blow up under the hood.... I'm going to clean it up after I done with the spring semester but i'll post picks over the weekend

Looks like oil and grease residue, just use some good engine degreaser and some brushes to get it off. Might take a while, but worth it....

Do it soon. I have a feeling mine looked like that about 15 years ago and then the PO drove with it for 10 years and then sold it to me. Nothing cleaned it except WD-40 and a soft metal bristle brush. 1Gallon of wd-40 ftw

What's your suspension setup. I like your car's stance. I don't know if it's the angle of the picture or lowering springs, but the stance looks really good in the first picture.
