I'm assuming from his post that it was scneonchic's grounding kit she sold him... I could be wrong, though.

The ninja-throwing star lookin' goody is the NRG grounding kit that scneonchic sold me. (Pretty neat little doodad, saved me some time at Radio Shack buyin' piece parts.)
The strap is 4" wide ballistic nylon with Stainless inserts to hold the battery down to the tray. Its a generic Optima Red that I got a deal on, F-it, its a battery. (You could tow a car with that strap, very similar to seatbelt material.)
The oil-seperator is a Grainger item for air compressors, just traps shit before it goes into the intake when plumbed right...

I thought keeping the bling under the hood would be cool. Who doesn't like chrome engine componants, yeah they hold in heat, but I'm old and I like old-school hot rods too.
(ooh, nice new sig OB!!)

Looks good, only thing I would suggest is swaping all the blue colored hoses and straps to black or red. Blue and red should never be mixed IMO, unless you're superman.

I was going a little patriotic on the red-blue-chrome theme. Plus, my wife bought me that dress-up kit. I HAD to install it, she never shows any interest in my GearHead activities and she genuinely tried to buy me something cool and nice.
The "straps" are colored velcro, saves on zip ties when your constantly tearing up your engine compartment for new goodies.

Oh, and she has called me "supergram" once or twice..

Car looks good, grambo!!

Glad your happy w/ the grounding kit, it looks nice in there...you hid all the wiring well

I also thought about putting a red dodge emblem on my front grill on my 02, but I couldnt find the one I had, and I want to swap to chrysler lol

The red emblem is one of my favorite little doodads. A friggin nightmare to have made, but worth it. Hope it doesn't get stolen like my old one...

Looks awesome Grambo - btw, I have a similar STB and was wondering of your hood on the passenger side sits up a micron or not? Mine does, ever so slightly that only someone like me would notice, but noone else ever has

Just curiouso...

GREAT JOB!

kc2002acr = na, my hood is pretty squared up. I've got no problems with body panel alignment at all. I REALLY cranked the adjuster screws into that bar once it was mounted though. So much, that i was afraid of stripping it.

Thans for the kind words guys. I just bought one of those Injen fuse covers in blue to match my honey's gift of bling.

($20 w/free shipping at Injen's site.
