That's Jonsmonte. He did a LOT of work to get that engine bay to look so good. If you ever get the chance to look inside of a 5th gens engine bay you'll see what I mean. He had to smooth out everything and repaint it all. I'm not sure where he ended up putting the coolant overflow tank and whatnot, but the end result was great. IIRC, his best 1/4 mile time was a 12.7 second run.

With that said 03limitedss, your engine bay looks great too! I haven't "cleaned" my engine bay because I'm afraid to really, lol. I just try to make it look nice

Your engine compartment looks great. And this most recent engine cover looks GOOD!
