I like what you have done so far, its got a clean look to it. I would paint the dipstick handle, maybe an aluminum or black color, that yellow is hideous. The blue spot on the top of the water pump needs to be dealt with too, its a sore thumb. I would also paint the red plastic cover by the fuse relay covers, maybe black to blend it. You could remove the sticker from the MAF and polish the ABS as well. All the suggestions I mentioned are dirt cheap and time friendly, but would really add to your clean look you got going. Check out the link in my sig, it might give you some more ideas as well.

Its looking sharp what you are doing though

If you have to keep going,

1. Billet Caps
2. Battery/Fuse box covers
3. Smooth and Paint the lower air box/radiator support
4. Remove the blue from the WP.

Then leave it alone. It looks really nice.

it was pretty easy. only 3 cuts and they popped right on. but i dont have any emissions equipment which would require some big chunks out of the back.

Where'd you get the forward pieces that cover the back of the headlights around the radiator? And how about the little grommets where the wire holes were? Those GTO covers look really nice and now I wish I had those instead of the pre-cut and painted FRCs. Also, your Mobil1 sticker is right where I have my emissions sticker, would putting a magnet or sticker over it be illegal? I was wondering if I could sort of remove the AIR pump and then have that damn sticker covered so no one would be looking for it.

Anyway I think it looks nice but perhaps the red-top battery could get covered (black) and same with the cap on the wires (bottom right, looks pink.)

Looks good man. I would get some black wire loom of some sort to cover the electrical taped ones from the factory. Or you could get some stainless sleeving of some sort to cover it up if you can find it. Its a very clean engine bay though. I love the wire hide mod..but I havent decided to tackle that yet lol. When I do H/C I am gonna do a ton of clean up. that might be the ideal time to do the wire loom hide since the whole engine/wheel tire/ etc. will be removed to do the swap.
