Still a work in progress but finished up some of my wire looming last night what a difference with all the T connectors and ends makes it look finished and clean. not to mention the gray loom looks way better then chrome

My inlaws are in San Diego. I try to explain the weather there for my Toronto friends. I say 'two words. Carpetted garage.' You guys (SoCal) are so fortunate with that climate. I lived there for a bit and it is SO car friendly.

However, just because the weather is warm and dry, that doesn't mean everyone has an engine bay like THAT. Well done! I applaud your attention to detail and cleanliness. EB2NV ...engine bay to envy.

the loom took me about an hour and about the same for the T connectors i had to customize one and I had some spare T so i cut the ends of to make custom ends for next to the connectors

Awesome bay!!! I got some leaves and cobwebs in mine :(. Off topic, what intake are you running? I've got a 300 I'm looking to 'upgrade' and there are so many choices I'm not sure what to get, and don't want to waste $$$ so I can spread the wealth to other areas.

home made intake i went to a custom shop that does exhaust and intakes had them bend me up a pipe with a 23degree bend all the rest is from pep-boys (filter and such made by spectre) pipe 30 bucks misc parts maybe 40 plus paint looks better then any intake ive seen for the 2.7 and performs great

Nice work on the engine bay!Very clean! Did you paint the factory plastic pieces yourself or did you have it professionally done? I am thinking of painting some of the black plastic pieces in mine but would like to see if anyone else has done this themselves with any success

I don't think I've seen an engine compartment so clean... very nice.

I took a photo of the compartment and sort of played with it...
