I agree. I wanted an "anti JDM" look. I don't like the bold mismatched colors, etc....I prefer it to be "muscle car clean" under the hood. The ARC cover is actually powdercoated black.

[hks03evo8]

PWR radiator. The hard pipes are Virtual Works. The lower one is pretty extreme. I'll take some more detailed pics next week.
