New 6th Gen Minor Engine Bay Mod
OK, upgraded my engine bay to include strobes and Stinger Gold PRO Digital Battery Terminal with Red Display. Nothing big but I will admit, IMO, looks hot...

Doctors over here warn against putting foreign objects in your boot.

If you spray the intake, you risk water getting in through the throttle body (especially if you don't have one of the intakes with a water diverter) and then you'll experience the joys of hydro-lock...

Most of the electrical stuff is relatively safe to spray, but I wouldn't chance it. At the most I'd say use a mist (like that Mr. Clean autodry has) or do it by hand... or have the car detailed and let them deal with the dirt and grime...

I clean my engine with regular Windex, some Armor-All, and paper towels, every month I might polish the chrome parts, the more you clean the engine, the easier it is and the time to clean it actually decreases. (my engine cleaning time currently runs around 15 minutes Max), Peace Bro

That's a tight and well-crafted look under the hood. Some of you guys amaze me with the ideas that you come up with. Matbe nissan needs to come to you guys for advice on upcoming Maxima's. I'm quit sure people would love the ideas. Keep up the good work I am getting all kinds of ideas.

Niiiiice!
Chernmax, your engine bay mods are SICK SICK SICK - JUST TOO MUCH! Wow, what a job! I don't ever see myself headed in the direction you have regarding mods, but I think you have done fantastic work! Thanks for posting and explaining. Before your post, I never even knew such mods were an option. I learn something new everytime I go to this site, and learning about mods like yours are both enlightening and entertaining.
