That was the first thing that came to mind for me too. With all that perdy polishing going on the alternator sticks our like a sore thumb. Polish that bitch and you're set!

I am going to have the alternator chrome or nickle dipped. I am going to change all the hoses to red.

The ps pulley and the ac/ps bracket will happen soon.

Where is the thermo housing?

Since your car's a '94, I dunno if you need it, but.... a torque brace did wonders for the feel of the car

*some people like to have the hood stand polished, and all those stupid metal wires along the firewall
If you have the time, I guess.....

Nope, I still see a blue coupler. Honestly, it looks great. I like the fit of the Apexi intakes as well. I'm going to have to custom do mine, to fit my FMIC.

It only looks like steel braided lines. It's a wire molding I bought from Pep Boys. Paid $65 for all of it.

Take a pic from adifferetn angle, or in the day as I think it looks kind overdone in that pic, but I think its due to the angle and lighting of the pic

Or...
For free, you could re-locate the wiper fluid (filler cap/neck) a little lower so it's out of sight...

Maybe do the same on the other side too?
