How is its cluttered if we are not adding anything to it? If anything I have taken away more than most? Cowl, cabin filter, stock air box ect.

I don't run without a cowl when it rains and you have to keep up on engine bay cleaning...it gets a bit dirty.

Fires that bumper hang lower than say a OEM Pre-LCI bumper? I am doing the LCI conversion and need to know lol!

I am also painting the intake manifold also.

Can pull them apart and powder coat them. Thought about buying an old electric oven for my garage so I can drop parts in and let bake for 20 min at 400. Much better than painting them.

Looks real nice, I'd like to paint mine but will let the shop do it once I have my conversion Rdy to paint.
