Looks really good and I think you have done all the major stuff. Just a few odds and ends left I would do:

1. Something with the oil dipstick, chrome one or paint the yellow end.
2. Brake reservoir cap
3. Overflow tank cap
4. Paint the back of your headlights
5. Some aftermarket fuel lines or just get rid of that heat tape, sticks out like a sore thumb.

Way too busy around the engine itself, ..., with all the highlights on the lines/wires/tubes.
Plain & Simple, ..., Cleaner is better.
Hide it or eliminate it, don't make it stand out more.
The fenders are clean, now take that to the engine.

I really like the clear box on the F-bodys... I have a clear vortex rammer on mine.

My advice...

1. Loose the stupid taz sticker... unless of course you're a redneck... then, well it's ok... but make sure you have a taz tornado sticker somehwere on the outside of the car to let people know your a fan. And make sure to keep that short/long fresh (real rednecks don't know what a 'mullet' is )

2. Maybe powdercoat the valve covers gloss black or orange like the manifold and do a coil relocation to get the coil off of them.

3. Painting the headlights is a great idea.

Yeah I just put the Taz sticker on there because it looked to plain just being orange and I couldnt think of anything else. Usualy at shows I do put a Taz in the passenger seat to kinda go with it. I just polished the valve covers, so I would like to relocate the coils to show them off.. Any other ideas on how to clean up the wires on the motor?.. everything on there seems to have to be there...thought about FRCs but not sure

^ Hair dryer is your friend... it will loosen the adhesive and should peel right off.
