I just crimped them tighter with a pair of Vise-Grips at the ends and that seems to be working fine.

Steve, it looks great. Too bad you couldn't get the filter in Kona blue.

Your new avatar cracks me up!

I'll get better pictures when I get the engine cleaned up. It's snowing (again) here in MI...I've had enough of it.

Looks awesome. Are you still doing the Grabber coil covers? I think they would tie in to the filter being lighter blue...

Yeah, I'm doing the Ford blue coil covers and the engine bay is done. They're not the same as Grabber if you hold them up to each other. Just a shade darker.

Sounds good. I'd say you have one of the most OEModified engine bays on the site. I just coined that phrase, so feel free to steal it haha

I'd almost say a set of strut tower covers would make it look perfect, but I don't know if anyone makes them to fit the STB. Also, do you have hood struts?

I've thought about strut covers, but when I do the suspension, I'll have caster/camber plates, which render those useless. I also have hood struts already, Redline Tuning ones:
