If you really wanna jazz up your engine bay, here are a few ideas.

1) Polished aluminum CAI. Ingen makes one for the 2.2
2) Take all the plastics out, lightly sand them, paint them with two coats of heat resistant paint close to the color you want, lightly sand with very fine paper, coat of paint in color you one, and coat of heat resistant clear. Reinstall.
3) MRZ polished aluminum and polished steel trim pieces.
4) Replace all your rubber hose with silicon hose.

Before you do all this, figure out what color you want to use as your accent and stick with it.

 

Dam bro, those are great ideas!! I didnt know u could paint the plastics... do u have any pics of that.. I thnk thatl be my next project.. LOL!! Also, i want an air intake.. for both appearance and power. Hehehe

 

Give them a lil scrub with sandpaper first to make em slightly rough and make sure the high temp paint you use can be used on plastic. If it can, your golden since the final color will on the high temp paint.

 

Thanks for the advice!! Much appreciated!! +rep

 

here's the only pic i have of the painted plastics. this blue was WAY too bright, so i color matched to the exterior of the car which was much darker

 

Cobalt guy... you have a 2007 LT? Check to see if you have SAI. It would be a second smaller hose coming off of your airbox. if you do not have this, no worries. If you do, you are limited to the Intake you can put in. Currently, only K&N is compatible with the SAI tube, or you could install a breather filter.

 

I checked this morning and i didnt see another smaller hose... and yeah, thats the air intake i was looking at.. it looks great and hopefully i can order sometime this upcoming week.

 

What the hell?! Neg rep with a "Red Box Strike!"

Didn't that end like, a year ago?

 

Don't feel bad I got one too

 

there ya go. the douche would have to neg rep you about 6 times to cancel out the positive i just gave you

 

HAHA

 

Between you and brain I just got like 48 points. Boom! Bright Green Box!

 

I got neg repped cuz I annoyed some people.... what a dick I am for trying to make sure he knew if he had SAI or not

 

Isnt it only some 06 cars that have that hose?

 

06 and 07 LS and LT's.... not all of them tho

 

eh, who cares. it's just rep. i just got neg repped by someone for no reason.

 

oh cranky guy tonight huh?

 

who me? i'm cranky because i just got done working a 60th birthday party, was helping out one of the dj's, and it was boring as all hell.

 

lol its kool. its saturday night, and im doing laundry

 

The neggers are out in force tonight. I just got this one...
