Paging Steve2000SS Since we all know you have the most awesome engine bay, I have a couple of questions for you. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> I have removed all the stickers under my hood. I want to reroute all the wires possible out of sight. Could you help me out here? I have no clue how or where to route them to. I also want to replace all the bolts up front with chromed ones. Do you remember where you got yours? Then, I want to replace all the tubing that I can't move with pure black tubing and replace all the cheap GM clamps with the chrome screw-type fasteners like the ones around the MAF/TB and lid/MAF. Any help there? Then I plan to get a strut tower brace and some FRCs, along with all the MBA caps and covers, and I'll be set to go. I just won my first award at a car show today, so the addiction has been fueled. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Any help is greatly appreciated.
Re: Paging Steve2000SS Hey there.. I will see what sort of extensive reply I can put together for ya <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> -- do you have a picture of your car? or the engine?
What state are you in? Removing the Air system might not be the best solution (smog laws)..
Thanks

Re: Paging Steve2000SS I took a picture, but it didn't show up well at all. I will try again in the morning. I tried to contact CalChrome, but my email was returned. I am gonna pick up a custom car type magazine tonight and see what I can find in it. My plans:
1. Hide all the wiring possible.
2. Get all the bolts chromed.
3. Paint the front piece right over the washer fluid tank black.
4. Get rid of AIR.
5. Get some FRCs.
6. Get polished aluminum caps and covers.
7. Replace the hoses with plain black ones and get fasteners.
8. Polish my MAF, TB, hood struts, and other metal. Can I polish metal that is already painted? How can I protect it if I do?
Thats about it. I am gonna keep searching for thos items. Anything that you can add to that Steve? I will post up a decent pic of my engine area in the morning.
