Question How can I clean up my engine ?

Hey guys how can I make my engine look a little more.. I guess bad-***? The CAI helped by adding a little bit of chrome but it doesn't have the mean look. I tried to clean it up with a damp towel but it didn't do anything the dust recollected immediately. I have looked for engine covers but cant find anything I was thinking of wrapping the wires in red or blue electrical tape or put some tubing around it. So yeah some suggestions would really help. Thanks !

2 ways to go about this. Go to the 99cent store buy some LA's Totally Awesome. And spray the love out of the engine, let it sit. Take your water hose and spray the engine. Or you can get purple power and use that. That's all you should do wires and colors and what not are... Not so cool. If you really want your engine to look awesome put a supercharger on it or a 4valvle swap

You will need a lot of elbow grease as well...

I would say hide as mich of the wiring as you can. Takes a long time to reroute and can be a pain, but i saw an 03 at the track and i couldnt find a single wire in that thing. Was sick. You say you threw a CAI on there and added some chrome. If chrome is what ur looking for. UPR has chrome engine dressup kits. Along with interior too. Several companies sell mad chrome for stangs. You tryld try finding replacement pieces for those stained or rusty pieces. Cheap easy stuff like power steering resevoirs. If its in rough shale. Go to the grave yard. And etc. If you like painted larts and chrome parts. Do it. Its your car. Most people have matching engine parts to tge outside of the car.
