Couple other low budget attention to detail dress up items to consider:

Chernmax, thanks for posting the pictures and info on the engine goodies. I just placed an order for a battery bracket and I'm seriously considering the battery terminal. (a little intimidated as well) Thanks again.

Not Hard, just remove the old post, Shave some rubber back to expose some wire, insert into the side of the Stinger Terminal, tighten with an allen. Insert on top of battery post, tighten with allen. I have 2 with a picture of the dude that installed it for me.

I usually don't comment but that looks real nice & clean. I usually don't like engine bay paint jobs.

Gj!

I bought the battery tie down, put it on, didn't like the look of the battery so now I'm gonna buy a new battery. Its nice having a car that spends its time on the road instead of the shop.

btw: the blue oil cap is next on my list

this looks hot man. I want to do the same when the weather is nicer as well. I love the silver. How hard was it to do? I am new to car modding in every sense but I am also scared of reaching into the engine bay to clean as i am afraid I'll brun myself or short something out. Any tips on removing the covers or what to watch out for (obviously I wouldn't do this after I just ran the car witht he engine being hot)
