Trust, I was heavy into that. I had everything from HKS to Tomei IC piping, Gruppe M intake, Cusco strut bar etc. It wasn't the selection the earlier Evo's got.

This car will be worse

Im too used to the honda scene with their super tucked and cleaned out engine bays. Even the s2000s get cleaned up so well.

I wonder how much you could clean up ours.

It can probably look similar to this.

Wash it?

I wash mine down every time I wash the car.

I just have a larger paint brush and "dust" it every time I wash the car and use some Citrus Guys grime reaper.

i remember the first few wire tucked s2000s in the US and how the tires ate up wire harnesses that ran too close under the wheel wells.

Chasebay is doing a semi-tucked FRS, like what they do with their honda's

Yep looking closely at chasebays build, im hoping after im done with boost and wheels I can focus on little details like engine bay and interior.

what do you use to wash? what components do you cover up? how do you dry it? I don't have a lawn blower to dry.

I think there is plenty out there for engine bling, its just not cheap for pretty much something that doesnt add performance.

Here is mine and I still plan to add JDM Password red battery tie down and purple bolt dress up kit...Then finally top it off with the APR carbon fiber alternator cover.

I just use simple green. Put it on mist and spray it around. Hit it with the hose and take the car for a drive to dry it off. If I gets really grimy ill run it to get hot. Then continue the same way.

Edit: I don't cover anything up. I just try not to spray a direct shot at the fuse box.
