Paint Strut Tower Brace Body color?
My car is Navy Blue Metallic so I was trying to come up with some simple things to dress up under the hood. My STB is black currently but I think it would look awesome painted NBM to match the rest of the car. What's some opinions on doing this? Also throw me idea's on what to do under the hood. So far I've got a cylinder head plate, polished the heads and aluminum parts I could get to, MSD wires with Ceramic Coated LT's, Mobil 1 decal, blue K&N filter on the AIR tube. I'll post a pic of the engine bay in a few minutes.

I've allready dumped five grand into the car in the past three months. I'm just trying to do little things which are different from other LS1 cars in the area. I could paint the STB myself. Wouldn't cost me much at all. Basically I want the engine bay to look perfect for shows and cruise ins. I'm a clean freak when it comes to my car.

to the OP. The best underhood mod is keeping it clean. When I got my Z it had MSD coil packs, red hotchikis stb, all braided fuel lines, fast fuel rails, I put in a optima red top, it was sharp under there, but as long as you keep it clean, it will look great.
Delete all the egr/air/evap if you can (tune it out/don't have emissions) That really cleans up the bay.
