They don't look too bad. I will be interested in seeing the results when it's painted.



Hey whats that little circular thing sticking out of the bumper on the lower right side of the pic?

Why are you concerned with underhood temps? does this car have a huge turbo or something? You should stick you head under the hood of an FD with stock twins after some spirited driving.
