Default New engine bay pic

Just finished the car up and took a pic of the engine bay. Plans are to paint it real soon. Let me know what you guys think and what color I should paint it.

Sexy!!! I say silver, or something "normal". I'd go for the industrial power house type look

I was under the impression that there wasn't a strut tower brace that fit with the 102. Any info on that?

It's not bolted down we're making the brackets for it to fit.

Wow! That 1 picture doesn't do your work justice! Nice work 99creelz! I'm hooked on silver, that's just me. You need to take some more pictures and post them!

If you're going to keep the valve covers, I'd spread a few red anodized pieces around (gently!), lose the bright yellow battery, paint the engine bay body color, relocate the grounds on the core support.....for a start . Clean bay though.....

Thank you for the compliments. The STB is a polished Hotchkis bar.

I see you are running their LT1 STB. Does it interfere with the engine/intake anywhere?
