You guys got it, if it had been a photo taken in better light the changes would have been easier to spot.

1. Blue Venair Couplers for the Intake
2. Painted dipstick handle black
3. Polished AC lines (still more polishing to be done to really get them to "bling")

I like to keep my stock parts, so I'll probably hold on to these. If I change my mind I'll let you know.

I knew you'd get it right away Sean.

I picked up Venair Couplers 3" in diameter (same as stock). I went with Venair to match my coolant hoses, but you could also get Samco or other brands. When you order them ensure that the length is at least 3", otherwise they'll be too short. I tried the ones at Kragen, they were the correct diameter but they were too short. The Venair ones are just a hair over 3" in length. Got them here (Size - 3"):

nice...I had been keeping an eye out for a good deal on springs for you.
The other projects have been slow since I have been busy at work and spending all my money on multiple sets of wheels.

I took some advice from Shane and Sean and here are the results.

I changed up the couplers, installed the new JDM Washers around the engine bay and plenum. Polished everything up. I also removed all of the OEM Stickers around the engine bay. I removed all of the white stickers on the Engine Cover to give it a more cleaner look.
