    But again, I got bored. It's not perfect and the bay is still pretty sh!tty, but it works for now. It'll be a lot better/cleaner when I do pull the engine for the swap. And yes, I know my intake is "sucking in tons of hot air"


    any suggestions as to what else I should do?

    Is there anything else I can do/use on the fuel lines besides that aluminum foil looking stuff?

    I had a huge one on there, but it wouldn't stay on right, so I just got a smaller one.

    I didn't want to start a new thread, so I got another question. Should I paint my rear fascia flat black with silver "pontiac" inlays, or silver with black inlays?

    I went with black on silver for my car just because it was simpler. I think if you can paint your bumper and do silver on black though it would look better especially with the theme your car has.

    I painted my rear black and did the red inlay, i love it, so id recomend the silver inlay.

    but then again my tails arent smoked so its balanced nicely imo

    need some contrast, dont paint the front/rear black. youll look like an SE if they are painted the same color as the body.

    True, I might just leave it the stock color and get silver inlays, because the black just doesn't stand out enough.

    You put the headers on in the car, not outside. You cannot bolt them to the motor and drop it in if thats what you think.
