Besides accessories, cleaning the engine bay really good will make a better lasting impression. It's one of the things I look at.

RE: Engine Dress up
A cheap mod that makes an excellent impact is painting the valve covers. Total cost, about $15 in paint and clear coat.
Here's a set of instructions and a picture of mine. http://www.cherod.com/mustang/HowTo/ValveCover.htm
The Ford Decals are from Ford Racing and I bought them on Ebay. I put 3 coats of engine clear coat on them. I've had them on for about 4 months now and they are holding up real well.

Here ya Go... 40,000 miles and as clean as the day I bought it.
I use paint brushes and tire black to clean up a bit, before a show,
the Spectre Stainless Steel braided hoses really give it a nice touch.
