What happens here

To address the need for a lift and to enhance the engine bay's appearance, a new BendPak car lift is acquired and needs to be installed. The intercooler, which is currently exposed and silver, will be spray-painted black using VHT Wrinkle Plus paint to give it a more stealthy and aggressive look, integrating better with the overall aesthetic of the vehicle.

Goal: Prepare for further mechanical work and improve engine bay aesthetics.
