Gave my vote....ditch the blue and go BLACK as black is beautiful. Also, I agree with the comments on the return spring and 2nd gen fusebox.

Darker blue or Black, doesn't really matter...

I'm also with the Fusebox, throttle spring, oil tube, and FMIC crew.

Blue for the ignition system and the intercooler pipe connections.

Everything else should be black.

2nd Gen Fuse block - good idea.

Did you already eliminate some of the wiring near
the fenderwell? It looks like you did, but I can't tell.

Show me some pics of the hidden "Aussie" way.

I like the blue iotus, matches ur car nicely. I did my engine bay very similar to urs, except i used red color scheme to match my car. I think it adds a nice effect

i'm gonna get a 3rd gen fill tube. Its plastic so i dont have to worry about as much rust or lung cancer.

And it took him forever, too!!! Oh, well, at least it fits!

As for the spring... I tried to hook it to that bolt- it got hung up on the intake and didn't return very well, even when very tight. Suggest bolting piece of metal with hole in it to that same location but sticking out so that it doesn't rub. I didn't have time and the current location works well for now... Worst mounting location, my ***...
