As for the engine bay, less is more. Paint a couple things, keep it clean, remove EGR, AIR, etc. Here's a pic of mine if you don't mind me posting it in your thread.



And a more recent pic, with a crappy camera..



Painted lid, valve covers, intake, coil packs, and just keeping it VERY clean in general. I scrubbed everything down with brillo pads and degreaser lol.

again, great looking car!

for the lid i used my slp one and got some pretty good results.
