Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Pics of my Engine Bay

Here are some pics of my engine bay, I finally washed it(sort of) a few days ago. So tell me what you guys think?

THERE ARE FIVE PICS

PLEASE WAIT UNTIL ALL ARE LOADED, IT WONT TAKE LONG.

THANK YOU.

Pic#1

Pic#2, from the right side.

Pic#3, from the top.

Pic#4, a close up of the mini role-call.

Pic#5, last one. A shot of the AEM CAI and for you who are wondering what "Autohaus" is, that is the shop has installed all of my parts. There is a thread in the Pacific Forum describing it all. Definitely check it out if you live in So Cal!!!

Alright done, so what do you guys think or . Honest opinions. I plan on getting either a APR strut bar or a RMM one. I'm leaning towards the RMM but we'll see with time. Ok thanks for all comments ahead of time

NICE JOB LOOKS GREAT.

whoaa thats clean bro
did you do the paint job yourself?
i need to know what color blue that is and what type of paint i think it would look nice on my car too

Thanks carinv

Oh and a side note, the car is DIRTY AS HELL!!!!

Looks great, but kind of naked without a strut bar.

look very good.. did you paint them yourself or have pro do it??? the cylinder head valve cover, did you buy that or was it stock?? if you buy it, where?? and how much??

thanks

Thanks a lot Marco, yeah i know ur name!! Alright now in response to your questions. yeah i did the paint job myself, with help from my dad. You notice how that the VVT-i lettering is still red? that's not a vinyl overlay as many assume, all my dad did was put masquing tape over it, get a razor blade and cut around the tape, and he left it on while we painted it, then simply took it off when we were done!! Alright now about the paint, the paint I used is "Testors spray enamel", color "Dark Blue" and code #1211. I picked my can up from the local Michaels arts and crafts store, im sure you can find one near ur house as well!! Good luck, hope i helped!

I painted it myself. They cylinder head cover came stock, and i like it because it covers my DC Sports Headers, so nobody can really tell that I have them, but when they get in the car they can feel that it's there!!

^^^did you use carbon_blue_gt painting guides?? what color paint code did you use?? basically could you list all the material you've used to do ur painting?? i'm painting mine soon but don't know what exactly to buy...how much did you pay for ur DC headers?

thanks omar!! isaac mentioned you last time when a lot of people went to tpr to get body work done and a week later i went to get my kit painted there
anyways iam assuming thats the model paint kind? just to be clear it not a high heat paint so did you use a high heat clear coat???

Looks awesome!

CLEAN

Nope i painted it before, i have had it painted since October 2003, just to lazy to put pics up!!! The paint code is above in the 1st response i have for tru_asiatik pride, and i used a high-heat clear coat!!!

That's cool bro, yeah its model paint, and ur exactly right. THe clear coat is a high-heat finish, since it tends to get hot under the hood usually lol!!! ill try find the name/brand of the clear coat i used, but later on because rite now i have to go whip out my smooth gardening skill and mow the lawn!!!!

BTW:
I got the DC Sports Header from "autohaus" for $380 installed!!!! they just came out for the GT as well.

Very clean. BTW how do you like that Intake?

It's BAD ASS, and no CEL!!

haha Nice Engine Bay Omar...its Clean...haha Your car is a sleeper...with your DC sports Headers still hiding under the stock header covers...

nicce

bro that's the best engine bay I've seen love it

^^Thanks!! that means a lot

That looks AWESOME!!! I might be doing mine tonight.. I think it would look better if the VVTI was silver like the others, looks really nice though!!!

That's really nice! Congrats!

Thanks, yeah im plannin on paintin them silver or just buyin a overlay for em soon.

looks awsome man

damn man that looks real good

is that an NSX next to your car?

and 5 *'s. Nice.

Thanks for all of the comments!! Very greatly appreciated!!

LOL I WISH!! It's my brothers Integra. U were rite about the Acura part though

nice pics! do you have any plans for a body kit? i think ww would look hot and you can have them paint the middle of the lip black, i think it would go good with the the vinyl on ur hood.

Looking good Omar!!

I love it! One of the best i've ever seen!

looks very nice!!

That is b-e-a-utiful!!

very nice

very nice!! you got pm..

I work at michales. I will look for this stuff next time I go in which is Sunday. That would be cool if they had it casue I would get 40% off. But dose it w/stand heat. Also dose it come in a spray can cause ive never seen that brand.

that looks great. I like the little role call. good idea.

Damn Omar that bay looks excellent! Props to you & ur dad. Makes me wanna go & paint mine white & also put on a CAI. Keep up the good work

looks hot BTW how tha hell do you clean an engine bay?????

Thanks again for all the replies, not let me start answering the ?'s.
