Default engine bay dress up help

Hey everybody, i have a 2010 GT convert that ive done alot of work on. Ive dressed up the engine bay with plenty of crome and it looks pretty good now to me, and i get alot of compliments at shows and everything, but im looking to further enhance it because i want it to "pop out" at people.

My question is what them would you guys recommend? for example should i have something painted? or...

Another thing, what else could i add to make it look great and stand out from the crowd. Id love to have an engine bay that everyone cant stop looking at. My exterior color is res with black interior by the way. Any input is appreciated, thanks!

here it is now:

Can't see the pic where I'm at.. but what's the plenum cover look like? That's always a nice touch to have that custom painted or just buy a different one.

its just the stock plenum as of now. I agree, a painted cover would be sick

couple of options.. Either going to look around for a used 05-09 with low mileage, or im going to go around to dealers and pick up a great deal on a 2013 GT(since they want them out the door for the '14's)
