Default Those w/ black F-bodies: Need pics of engine bay please!

Im having a hard time figuring out what I want to do with my engine bay and I need some ideas! So far, I have a black, red, and chrome scheme going. Im tired of looking at my boring engine bay and I wanna spice it up a bit! I dont want to over do it, but I do want it to be noticeable. I want it to blend in well as if it came from the factory, but to those who know what is and what isnt (factory), I want it to be eye catching. Ive seen lots of ideas here and there, but no colors that would go with mine. So I figured if I can get some pics of engine bays that consist of a black exterior, it would be of some help. Anyhow, let's see 'em! Thank in advance!

I went for the polished look, a little chrome, black and a little grey.

I think you should go with the black and polished look. I know it's not an f-body but you should make it look EXACTLY like this:

Nice enginebay there McTullis! What the hell kind of supercharger is that? It looks like a roots style?? But I didn't think there was such a thing for the f-body. And what kind of STB is that?

Yes, that is a Supra. 03 Cobra? C'mon guys, that looks nothing like an 03 Cobra motor.

It worries me when people can't tell a V8 and an inline 6 apart.

SS LS1: Before I start with all the questions I have for you, incredible car! Absolutely stunning! I hope mine looks as good as that one day, but with differnt colors! Ok...here it goes:

1. What made you go with that goldish/tan color for the color scheme?
2. Are those stock fuel rails?
3. If so, what did you use to polish them and how?
4. Where did you get the MAF ends and what kind are they?
5. Out of curiousity, whats polished and whats chromed?
6. Where did you get the colored fasterners/washers?
7. Fuel rail covers, intake manifold, front facia support, etc., how were all those painted?
8. If by can, what brand/type of paint was it?
9. Who made your FRCs or where did you buy them?
10. Who made your battery cover or where did you buy it?
11. Whats that little box with the cables in front of the battery and to the left of the a/c dryer or whatever its called? How come I dont have it?

Thanks bro for the pics!

Good f*****g lord. Out of 960 posts I think 955 of them are questions from you. After all this time have you not found any answers? It's so f*****g annoying to see you whoring on the board asking questions over and over that could be answered of you searched. And it's pretty lame you want to build your car around everyones opinion. Build it yourself, I'd hope you have some imagination to what you want the car to look like and not what other people like....lame dude.

**EDIT**.......ease up on the F-Bombs....
