Default Got my album up now

Well I finally got home to my camera and took some pictures. Doesnt look to bad. The engine bay needs some help though. If anyone has any suggestions please feel free to say something. It is bone stock as of right now. As I do things I will add pics. I got my Stech springs in the mail today but the mechanic that was doing my safety and emmisions test told me they are pretty hard to do and would take me like 6 hours. So I will probably wait till I get the struts and do them both together. So I dont do it twice.

Thanks for the comments. I am getting a couple services done on it first (90k mile) but an AEM SRI is next on my list. I also have ordered a new rotors and brake pads on the front I was told they werent looking to good so I thought I could get some nicer ones. (Power Slot slotted rotors and Hawk HP Plus pads)

I ordered some of the S tech springs but I was unsure if I could put them on myself so I ask the mechanic and he said it would probably take me like 6 hours. He also said since it would take so long I might as well wait till I get the Tokico Illuminas and throw them on at the same time. Quoted me like $350 for him to do it so I dont know if thats high might have to shop around a bit. Anyone know a good how-to with pictures or something on changing the springs?

As for the valve cover I was going to take a wire brush on a drill to it to get all the junk off it. Do yall think I should just paint or polish it up? I was think I would do black or something. Any how-to's on doing that as well? Do I need to take it off or can I just cover everything in newspaper and spray it.

My mechanic said he wasnt sure but he maybe I might have to get new tires or wheels if I put the new springs on. Since it will be lower, does anyone know if just stock wheels and tires will rub?
