Looks good, but here is a good list of things to do.

Take off the upper intake and clear coat it, doesn't look quite right just being powdercoated silver, same goes for the alternator. When you take the intake, oh and throttle body, paint 3.8L Fuel Injection Black or Red (black will look better), Then clear coat the whole thing, will have a bright nice chrome look. Intake looks a little faded, try some maguires chrome polish and polish back up. Next visit http://www.mgw.ltd.com/, http://www.mustangsunlimited.com/and http://www.uprproducts.com/ and get yourself a new oil cap cover, winsheild wash reservoir cap and container cover, power steering cap cover, radiator cap cover (if yours is not the chrome one) break fluid cover, camber and strut covers, radiator cover, chrome sway (strut tower) bar, fuse box cover,and whatever otherchrome dress ups you get. Remember, do it either all chrome or all billit, don't mix, it will look tacky, I say go all chrome, but that's up to you. Also, get yourself some chrome 8mm spark plug wires from autobadges.com, will really improve the overall look. If you get a little confused, then look at my engine bay pics, all of my dress ups will work on a V6, so you may have to look under GT dress ups, just make sure you get themfor the right year.
