So far only thing I've done under the hood has been painting my valve cover metalic red with enamel clear coating to keep it from burning and flaking off...
Two pics plus some photoshop = ability to see through my closed hood at my engine.

Other than that, dont plan to do much to the engine compartment right now. The whole point of my buying a civic was for it to save me more gas than the old ass truck i was driving around. So more mods would go against it. The only things i'll probably do is put in an AEM Short Ram Intake (honestly if you visit AEM's Page, the short ram and cold air have about the same performance gains b/c though the cold air brings in cooler air... the pipe is longer so the engine has to suck harder to get that air into the intake) and maybe some DC headers... but i dont even think i'll get an exhaust... too much hassel with cops n shiz around here.... until next update...
P.S. > one more thing though, Sidemarkers are coming in sometime this week so hopefully i'll get to install them on my spring break... will upload pics if i do... and they're REAL STANLEY JDM SIDEMARKERS... not some fake-@$$ e-bay crap...
