I need a project...
Alright, well I'm bored with my car and want to do a little customizing project. I am not VERY mechanically inclined but I know my way around. I have all the stuff I just did to my car such as Cam, PnP Head, etc. and my car seems to be heating up in the engine bay to incredible temps. I am thinking I could do some sort of project to cool down my engine bay but I am not sure what I can do.
I could heat wrap headers (although I kinda like the looks of them now and don't want to ruin that).
Do the TB coolant bypass (but I live in a ever changing climate which means it can get REALLY cold here)
Make custom ducts for my air intake to pull in cold air.
etc.
What would be most beneficial? Anything else people would suggest?
I will make sure to post pics/how to/consequences/gains.
Also, I think I might black out my grill and paint the little mitsu symbol red

I vote heat wrap. You don't really want to cool your header, as the heat helps the exhaust gas flow. That's part of the reason heat wrap was made, keep the heat in to aid in flow and to also lower underhood temps. The keeping heat in thing is debatable, but in your case I would rather have the heat in the header than under the hood.
