some of you may already know this trick but i didn't until someone told me :dunno:

learned this from one of the guys in the Oklahoma Mustang Club. if your hood liner is looking old, dirty and stained but is still in one piece, remove the clips and drop it out. make a run to your local Walmart or maybe a shoe store and pick up about 10 bottles (maybe 15, i don't remember) of the dab on (sponge head type) black shoe dye ** NOT SHOE POLISH** and start dabbing till you have a nice even look. when you're finished it will look just like it did when it was new!

some people will say to just spray paint it but that never looks right IMO. the method above looks unbelievably nice, factory new!!

WARNING! this procedure works muscles in your arms you didn't know you had so you may be a little sore the next day or two.

without going too much into the whole detailing of the engine bay just wash those parts and then treat them with rubber/vinyl dressing. i think i pulled my factory intake tube off and washed it in the sink ;)
