The radiator cooling plate? It was like that when I got the car actually, looks like the previous owner might've trimmed it to get airflow into the stock intake, because he ran a K&N filter on the stock airbox.
I repainted it but paint flaked off when someone backed into me and cracked my old bumper. I've been too lazy lately to get around to getting a new plate. Might go with an aluminum one GTspec offers.
And I'm not a big fan of the filter either. My friend's an amateur photog and did the editing on the pic.

How do you guys keep your engine bays so clean..? Mine seems to fill with dust and tiny pebbles?? How does that even get in there? I do not live in an area where dust and junk should be an issue.
I took the battery cover off and whala. Tons of tiny rocks and dirt.. haaalp.

Indeed and then some. Most OEM things are not going back in. The engine will be a stripped down built 13b-REW by Atkins Rotary, ProCharger Supercharger for boost with a custom efi carburetor
Most of the electrical will be in the cab or in the trunk with the gas tank and battery
