I will let the pics do the talking...

Before.



After...





The list of what was done...
Relocate the PCM under the dash, relocate cruise control module, relocate alarm siren(Good luck finding it), paint cam cover and coolant bottle.
There is still alot more work to do, but thats what we got done today.

The valve cover is a love or hate kinda thing. I personally think it looks amazing.

When I seen the first pictures I was expecting it to be cleaned up, but to me it is no better. The painted coolant bottle I'm not feeling.

See if you can get some new bolts for the strut mount thats where my eyes went first b/c they are all rusted. It would be cheap and look better! Otherwise keep up the good work

Just my C&C...

Yeah, I have plenty of them lying around. But it was LATE when we finished!
Thursday we will put a few more hours into it.

What'd you use to clean the years of crap off of the coolant reservoir to make it hold paint? Everyone may not like the look but its definitely better than the stock tan lol

Looks pretty good. I had the coolant reservoir painted black on my '02 Sunfire GT. It definitely looks a lot better than the yellow crappy color it turns after a while. I would also suggest painting the brake fluid reservoir as well to kind of even out the black look. I also had it painted on my '02 Sunfire GT and it looked good.

I am not a fan of the valve cover. I think it should be all black. The red is a little too much with all the other red in the engine bay.

I would also suggest removing the handle from the Red Top. It's something small, but it will make the battery and the engine bay look nicer.

Lastly, I would suggest re-locating the cruise control module under the dash. It's still in the engine bay which kind of defeats the purpose of moving it. It will really free up a lot of space with it inside the car. PM me if you want instructions on how to move it under the dash.

Just my $.02 though.

I'm with those not being a fan of the valve cover, the coolant tank does look better though.

Instead of moving it and zip-tieing it under the dash.. I'd suggest the way I relocated mine(of course right?) but my bay is still filthy
