And once you do get it all cleaned up, kind of like this here.....



Then you can illuminate it with custom LED lighting throughout....





And after all that, then you can having beautiful ladies adorn your ride at car shows, and have their attire compliment that clean engine bay and lighting along with it.....

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!
