Exterior looks to be in pretty good shape. Could use some cleaning up and TLC on the engine bay though.

Mainly the rusty-ass heatshield needs to be taken care of. Other wise, you're GEWD!

I can't say one negative thing about the exterior, it looks very nice, but that engine bay definetly needs some degreaser, a new heat sheild or some headers and the rest of the stock airbox removed.

I can... but thought not to. There is small dent in the passenger side fender, where it meets the bumper. Yes? Or is it the reflection of the headlight from the car next to you?

Nice clean black car emoji. I have to agree with everyone else under the hood though. Spend a little time cleaning that mess up. A little tire shine good on all the rubber/plastic, a little polishing of the heat shield and some soap and water on all the painted areas and it should make a world of difference.

Sharp car. Keep that hood down, though. emoji Pick up some PB Blaster at Autozone and soak the heat shield bolts over night before trying to remove them. Then yank that thing and give it a good scrub. Hit it with some 1200* spray paint and call it a day.

Yea i wanted people to comment on my engine bay because it looks nasty i want to clean it up a little but i dont know how to, Im too afraid to damage anything washing it.. Funny you guys havent noticed i dont have a v-belt aka powersteering.
Ohh that damm heatshield try to get that thing off during the summer but I couldn't too damm hard to get off tried everything to used PB but one bolt on left hand side of the heat shield is too damm hard remove and my wrench would just keep slipping off. Also i thought about header however i planning to go turbo so no headers for now..

Take some brake Cleaner and Spray your TB and underneath your Valve Cover You might want to change the gasket too. Also Spray around the block too. Brake cleaner is safe and dryies fast.

You're not the only one dude, with an engine bay like that. My exterior looks great but could use retouch up. The white hides the scratches which my brother put in it dumbass's
Week ago I spent about an hour degreasing my engine Looks alot better

I dont know why, but my engine has little to NO rust at all, and I like two minutes from the beach. I probably just jinxed myself, but I've always heard people complain about rust issues with the 2gnt. emoji

emoji Wow thats clean, I'm jealous emoji

Mine looks abit like yours but with surface rust BOO!!

Like your ground wires setup with a heat wrap on a ground next to the Headers. That too is very clean hows that working for you. Soon I'll attempt to re-ground my car that your engine bay when I swap my headers either Greddy, DC or Megan

just some good ol' elbow grease can make it look good.

then just powder coat the heat sheild and cover.

then you get to wish you had not traded your nice powder coated heat sheild and manifold set-up for headers with ugly wrap on them.

at least i get the sound out of the headers i like.

You should also invest in a random orbital buffer, it works wonders on swirled black paint. Where in NH are you from?
