Default Detailing under the hood?

I have a car show this sunday, never been to one that was judged before. I need some help on detailing under the hood. I have cleaned everything that I can without tearing the car apart. What else can I do to make it stand out some? I know this is last minute so I can't really order any parts, but I am basically looking for some ways to make it stand out. Under the hood is stock except for air lid.

Take off the factory stickers under the hood, by doing so, your engine bay will look much cleaner. Make sure u really clean those dam cheap plastic parts in the bay, cuz even when u think you have cleaned them, from certain views, they look dus

SLP 2000 Camaro SS: MTI clear lid ram air, K&N air filter and cleaner, SLP 3" loudmouth exhaust with optional 3 1/2 chrome tips, Mobil-1 synthetic oil, GTS Smoke "blackout" covers (front only) billet antenna, CAMARO decals (rear) custom SS sticker under ram air hood, custom SS mats (designed by myself!), stut tower brace by BMR, limo tints all the way around, custom signature stickers of my name on interior doors, custom made SS sticker (center console), "armor" protective optional paint from factory...........more to come. <img border="0" alt="[Camaro]" title="" src="graemlins/camaro.gif" />

ty and have marks on them.

Get some mothers metal polish and polish the AC condenser thing or whatever its called. Its the thing on the left side of the engine bay behind the battery. All the ac lines will polish up real nice to with alittle elbow grease! Just make sure everything is clean. I use a product from walmart called "greased lighting". Spray it on and let it sit for a couple minutes and hose it off with a low pressure hose. Does wonders. Hope all this helps and good luck at the show!!
