Default Need idea's

Here's some pictures of my engine bay as it stands right now. What's some ideas that you guys have that I could use to make the engine bay look better?
I will be painting the front support black to match but other than that I'm not sure what else to do.

Well the lid is the Whisper lid so it had "LS1" written on it in red but I took it off. I guess I like it plain better but thanks.
As for the underhood mirrors I like the idea but I don't know of anyone that makes them for the Sunoco hood.

Lose the battery cover and factory decals. Paint the intake gloss silver.

What's up with that cloth next to the fuse boxes?

Re-route the wires in front of the passenger head so you can see more of your head plate

Re-route driver side ground on the fender

Ditch the stickers and !hood latch mod

Maybe paint the dip stick grabber red or black and fill the FRCs and paint red again

By the way, you did a very nice and clean setup with that Wet Maf kit

Well the battery cover is going to stay. I think the MBA peice looks a lot better than what a stock battery looks like.
I do need to remove the factory decals so thanks for that.
Why would I paint the intake silver, do you really think that would go well with the red/black theme the car car going for it?

There's some silver on your wheels, isn't there? Don't get carried away on color schemes. Sometimes you need some contrast as an accent.

I'd do something with the "Corvette" on the FRC's! Nothing like it saying Corvette and Camaro 6 inches from each other...we (as a community) call it rice when that kind of thing is on an import car.

You could paint the windshield washer fluid container gloss black and relocate the hood latch wires on the driver's side. Two things I learned today from this site.

I don't see a theme. I see red anodized stuff, corvette frc's, polished covers/ bolts...pick a theme and/or color and go with it....if your going for the red anodized look, I think the Hillco kit would have looked better with the red anodized washers vs. the polished kit....imo....
