my version of a cheap dress up kit

painted my wiper arms, and stuff under the hood as well as my cai. And I wrap the cai with a towl near the cage part so my paint doesn't chip away. cold air intake looks sweet

The power steering cap will be the worst, the rest will be ok for the most part. When you do an oil change just will have to open the cap with a clean rag or something.

Mainly just sand everything down really good and prep everything. I used a plastic primer for everything, then I shot it with paint and then cleared it all up

Is that a Duralast battery?

Yep, the best one they sell.

That white is gonna be fun to keep clean

I cleared over everything so it should be relatively easy to clean, but I will have to clean it often. :)

I always clean all my caps off with a clean towel to prevent and dirt or dust from contaminating my fluids prior to opening so no biggy.
