Dude that looks really good. We have an Interstate battery in it. Its sloppy as all holy hell in there. Its a green top which is cool cuz she is doing all lime green accents so it looks good. I just wanted something to help accent it and hold it down better.

I'm actually getting some engine bay upgrades as we speak, blue HPS hoses, white NRG catch can, blue NRG fender washers and carbon fiber engine cover! Maybe I should have gone with a kinetik blue battery.

Yea a blue Kinetik battery would have been sweet! I have a redtop in my car. Where are you putting the NRG fender washers cuz I thought the Lexus ones were covered and which model fender washers are you getting? I was looking at those and they are very nice!

I installed mine today. I removed the clips that come underneath the NRG washer and put industrial glue underneath the washer then stuck them thru to the cover. You can see pics in my build page. They look great. The cover doesn't clip anymore but I only use half of my radiator cover anyway and I don't see that lifting up and flying away. I hated those clips anyway.

1. I bought the same stock J hook and cut it diwn a bit.

2. The blue Kinetik battery is pretty nice. That's what I would get if I had blue in my motor compartment.

3 I had about 6-8 fender washers in various bolts in my motor compartment that had a red ring on them.

Aren't all the fender washers covered with the rubber guard? I was looking for places to use these burnt titanium fender washers under the hood, but because the engine covers hide everything there was no point.



I may take a page out of your book and just glue them to the covers, lol

Looking for a battery tie down, just plug in your model, year and it will pull the right tie down for you. I am talking about the Sewell site.
