MBA Products------->
Actually I think it's just www.MBAproducts.com, I ordered about $400 worth of parts the other day. Still have a few things I need to get, but you won't beat the quality. They have an endless amount of interior/engine dress up pieces. I've got some hoses a buddy ordered for me from England. They are some of the best ones around, he had them on his EVO and I asked him to get me some (co-worker). They are bright red, not braidless or anything. You can do the !wire mod, which looks pretty cool. www.ls1speed.com has a little polishing service they got going for AC condensors, brake lines, etc. I did mine myself, but it adds a nice touch. Anyone else got any ideas?

Travis... because Stoleit posted a link (img) to it 
- obviously he is a fan of your engine bay and i would take it as a compliment 
A few words of advice on the engine bay.. "paint it, plate it or polish it" Oh and its all about the details.. the big items will get them to look but the details make them stare
in a few weeks i should be able to start living in the present and posting pics of my new ride.. more engine pics and ideas at my website.. keep us posted on you results

Would a little scotchbrite shine my heads up a little? I d like to strip all my pulleys and polish or plate them. How much would plating run for something like that? I also have a hose kit I've been too lazy to put on.
