Default Engine Bay Dress Up

Well...I'm ready for summer. I've always been embarrassed when going to meets etc. when I open the hood. I was completely stock except for the Steeda intake. (Airbox really) So this Winter/Spring I've been adding a few doodads here and there. I think I'm done for now, but you never know. There will surely be a few more billet pieces for Father's Day and the like.

Here are a few pics.

Thanks all. The strut tower brace is an ebay find from dynamicracingproducts. The GT and Mustang plates on top are custom. A guy from a local forum works at a HVAC shop and has access to a laser cutter. He layed out the "GT's" to match the side emblems and the "Mustang" to match the door sill plates. He cut them out of some pretty serious stainless stock. I then painted another piece of regular sheet metal orange to match the pinstripes and epoxied that to the back of the stainless. On the back of the sheet metal I stuck on some of that flat, refrigerator, magnet stuff. I just remove those when I'm driving and stick them on when I open the hood.
