I bought the car with ~60K miles and while it was taken care of the motor was all OEM right down to the paper air filter and needed some cleaning and dress up.I finished the intake and painted alternator awhile back but the car has just been running so good that I was afraid to open the hood and risk breaking something out of clumsiness or stupidity. Finally yesterday I realized I was being an idiot and just went ahead and installed them.Painted the alt and CAI with the same paints I used on the PI intake and other pieces. I also went back to the OEM IAC since the CAI tube already had a fitting for it, just rerouted it a bit so it doesn't look as ugly as the OEM setup. <img src="http://members.cox.net/stanggt/motor129.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://members.cox.net/stanggt/CAI137.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://members.cox.net/stanggt/CAI136.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://members.cox.net/stanggt/CAI131.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://members.cox.net/stanggt/alt135.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> The paint on the CAI tube didn't come out exactly as I wanted but it was close enough to where I can't justify ripping it off, stripping it down and starting over again.Next job is to clean the engine bay where the OEM air filter housing was.</blockquote>
