Good job for just getting them on sir!! Looks great!! Also you might want to look into the Holly valve covers too. Get rid of that ugly black bracket, unless you still run your engine cover, because the Holly's don't have the post to "snap" your cover onto to hold it down. Plus I also noticed your heater hoses are still running over your intake. Did you know you can do a "2012 heater hose relocation" on your engine? I did it to mine, just cleans up the top of the engine more.

Nope, this is all news to me! Great ideas!! Thanks

While checking the oil and catch can, a damp rag keeps ‘er ship shape.

Engine cover came off first week I had the car. Just looked into the 90* hoses for the relocation. Might tackle that next.

Here is the DIY from JDP Motorsports, all you need to buy is the 2012-2015 heater hose kit. Good luck.. Cleans it up a ton...
