I had a local body shop paint to match using GM paint codes. Then I taped off and painted silver in the groves.

I started putting cable snake skin with color matching heat shrink over some radiator lines. I plan to do as much of the wiring harnesses as possible.

Ya gotta pick the car up, turn it over and shake real hard!!!
Na, just playin with ya. BTW welcome to the forum. Don't be scared and grab the center of the back and the center of the front and give it a good little jerk. Once you pop it off your good to go.

You might want to unplug the MAF sensor connector first (front pass.side) just to be on the safe side.

Lookin good DeepBlue. Thanks for the link!
