Re: How to make a truck motor look good?

I don't think 95% of the trucks on here would benefit from dropping 3k+ on a custom manifold. I mean ya it'll make the engine bay look cool, but it'll make everything else around it look cheap. Wilsons manifolds = Kate Upton levels of sexy.

Biohazardbill, don't suppose you know the part number of that upper radiator hose do you? Or maybe what it came off of?

Thanks this was a labor of love. What made everything pop I think was the fact I had also painted the firewall fenders and wheel wells.
