Your engine compartment looks great. I would also suggest leaving the DCAI tubes as they are. I like the black hose clamps on the DCAI system. Where did you find those? What do you use to keep the aluminum on the supercharger looking so good? Everytime I open my hood the aluminum is all oxidized again (white powdery corrosion is back). Also I see you have the stainless steel valve cover bolts? Did you get those from Rob at Needswings? You should probably go for the stainless steel intake manifold bolt set too as those stock screws will rust. I see you installed the oil catch can too. Nice job on everything! . . .

PS I see you're missing one of the black plastic caps that cover the windshield wiper nuts. How about sending me the one you have so both of your wipers will look the same and both of my wipers will look the same . . . LOL
