I'm not trying to bash on you man,there are a lot of things you can do to make under the hood look sweet,a strut tower brace,polished or coated tb and intake,I know I polished my brake lines and box,a fast intake always looks sweet on there,polished fuel rails,I was even gonna get a set of polished valve covers off ebay that look like the ones above for 160 bucks,I plan to remove the ac,relocate the traction control thingy (forgot what its called) and relocate the coil packs,less is more,this guys ta was in gmhtp for a reason ,you start going with a lot of red it just looks bad,this is a pretty tough crowd and tells it how it is,I'm not crazy about the fuel rail covers or painted intake but even this one looks way better than wire loom everywhere

You can take your coil pack off and paint it if you wanted to,the best way to do it would be go with powdercoating,I like polished crap and it looks great,but its hard to keep looking good,I'm in the process of looking for a clearcoat that won't yellow from the heat and keep the polished parts looking nice,you can polish ,paint,powdercoat almost everything under the hood,you could also get a red head plate,those look nice also,why don't you post some pics of your engine and we can suggest a few things,and a few of the car,we are here to help ya man,trust me if ya ever need a hand working on your ride there is always someone on here that might live around you to help ya out,that's what we are all here for,we all have the same goals,and dreams,(to get on the street and destroy everything lol)
