Looks nice.

Get a new coolant overflow bottle. About $20.

She looks nice. Some new valve covers may help too. Also, polishing all the AC parts (the aluminum ones anyway) adds a little flare.

well here is a link to the same exact seats i have without sliders or brackets and i know the are extremely pricey a grand per seat and i have two seat sliders and brackets which would cost someone like $2500 dollars. Welcome to RECARO North America by the way i only paid 700 for both seats cause i got a deal through my dads friend. yea i am definatelly not intreseted in selling the seats. they are so comfortable. i think i am going to stay with the stock headlamp color just. i bought a overflow tank from jegs that i think i am going to mount next to the radiator.

That looks REALLY Nice!
I don't know what the car looked like before... but that is one sweet paint job!
As for under the hood.... Coolant over flow bottle is a must. After that... just some Armour All or your favorite brand plastic/rubber preserver should do the trick in my opinion. Looks pretty clean under there.

And if you wanna make your front end pop out.... Get some new headlights.
The high beam on the passenger side is pretty milky/yellow.
Take a peak as to what new headlights can do for a front end...

Did you have to replace the iroc wheels on front? If so, where did you get them?
