Looks pretty good. Everything looks pretty clean I have to admit.
I really like the valve cover and the black cover. Didn't you write a tutorial or something awhile ago?
but what I dig most is the strut bar...I've been trying to find a Wiechers Sport Aluminum Front Strut-Tower Brace...but how does the Apex one feel?

...you can actually feel the difference, other than BMW - AC Schnitzer one that I have. I guess bemmers are just built like that. Well, as to the any other brand - I don't know...this is the first one I have and as you see there's no adjustmets on this bar 
Of course additional labor on cutting the firewall is needed and running the seal above is still a big of a issue to me beacuse I still do know what would be a better way to do it(cut it or go underneath the bar, either way it looks crapy). It just doesn't look good either way.

Don't worry, Soldiers are not supposed to be scared anyway 
Just cover the stuff you need to, wash the engine ( do not try to wash off the engine protection if you have one) with running water (from experience do not use high pressure) and after cleaning use air gun to dry it. Start the engine and let it dry itself. That should do it.
As to the xenons...yes only low beam

lol nah i just got this alias from some other forum back in the day. i don't even like linkin park that much anymore. oh and i saw some high and low beam kits on ebay. that caught my eye. in addition, im only 16. so im not a soldier, though ive been thinking in going into the marines academy. i doin't have an air gun... and should i take any parts out when going to clean the engine? should i use a degreaser or some car wash soap or just running water with a brush? and what dressing should i use on there?

I know what your saying but still it's just doesn't look professional....it looks clean but not how it should be. Maybe these cars were meant to have braces
