I am looking to dress things up under the hood and wanted to get opinions and suggestions on what everyone thinks looks good. I plan to do Billet covers and caps.

I have seen some people with custom painted radiator covers but not sure where to get that done.

I also wanted to maybe dress up all the wiring and hoses. The hoses I might go with the braided hoses. Although I have seen the kits to cover your own hoses. Although I have seen some cars where the braiding is lose at the connections and it looks terrible.

What about the wiring? There are some colored flex tubing and also some that appears chrome.

What does everyone think? If you have done some of this on your cars, pictures would be great!

If you have good or bad experiences with certain products please let me know one way or the other.

It is winter and I have been going stir crazy and thought this might be a good time to do the dress up stuff.

Suggestions and opinions are requested!

Thanks

 

Just keep it simple.. Less is always more.
I'm also doing the billet covers too.

I have billet strut caps that i havnt installed yet.. if the rain lest up this weekend i will put them on and take pics.. I also got a brushed aluminum fuse box cover which i will show also.
I picked up some awesome radiator mounts from UPR with drilled and tapped holes for hood pins.. i think they look awesome but also are not installed yet lol

problem is when those are installed, if you put the radiator cover back on you then hide the awesome radiator mounts!! even with their radiator cover..

 

I would say a blower would be a good appearance mod

 

I also plan a little dress up in the engine compartment but that comes after the blower...the driveshaft...the headers...prochamber....fuel system....spark plugs...pulley change....retune...carbon diffusers...damn, I am more screwed than I thought [sm=helpout.gif]

I'd like to add some billet caps and an intake plenum.

 

I have a minor mod you can do to dress up your engine bay.



Sorry couldn't resist![8D]
