I don't have many shots lately. I added another option in that thread. I'll be taking some shots with the engine bay actually cleaned up this month.
Most likely the shot I submit will contain an MP62 mounted in there...

I don't think this necessarily needs to be an engine bay shot. I think something like a car sitting at the starting line of a drag, or burning tire might suffice as well. Of course, an engine bay shot would be the best way to showcase your performance. I think a list of mods should accompany the pictures, as you obviously can't SEE everything done to an engine performance wise. kwhuack's avatar is a good example.

For the overall concept of AotM I think we should have it just that, an Alero of the Month. If you click the picture or whatever it takes you to the user's submission thread, which contains multiple images of their car's various aspects as well as a list of their modifications.
Like how CobaltSS.net does it.

i bet i could get a good engine bay shot.. i have a few things in mind...
people would LOVE to see that awesome CAI i've got.. i'm pretty sure it gives me just as much HP as ion's supercharger... that's what my butt dyno tells me.
