Painted coolant reservoir and air box bubble delete. (Pics!)

[quiksilver15]

Hey guys just thought I'd show ya'll a couple of cheap and easy ways to clena up under the hood. Still haven't deleted my sound tube, or painted my coil covers, those will be done soon.

GENERIC BEFORE PICTURE:


I painted the top half of my tank with black plastidip. I didn't remove the tank completely, just pulled off the top 2 hoses and unbolted it. I braced it up along the top of the radiator, and covered the whole area around it with some paper to prevent over spray.

DURING:


AFTER:


Also deleted that stupid bubble looking thing in front of the intake. Used a 2 1/8" hole saw to round the hole, and found a 2 1/8" plug from Home Depot (it was bronze, and I dipped it black)

Final product. Also added a JLT catch can. Still waiting to delete the sound tube, paint my coil covers, and adding hood struts (still not sure which brand I want).



Thanks for looking!

That is way better!

That looks great man! What's the plastic bubble you removed? Just a plastic filler for the Ram Air?

It's probably some kind of sound resonator.

For struts I'd look at Redline Tuning. They have them for the '15.

The engine bay looks much improved.

Its freaking ugly is what it is haha. I think its a resonator, there is another one under the intake tube. I plan to get an airaid tube to replace that piece. The factory CAI is good enough for me, no need to spend $400 IMO

Now you need to eliminate the silly sound tube thing.

Yup! Sound tube delete, strut tower brace, and painted coil covers is next on my list.

Then I'm going to start tackling suspension.
