your car is red so a nice gloss black or satin paint under the hood would be cool.

Like these guys said...clean every nook and cranny you can, as well as clean the motor/accessories.

I'd suggest clear coating the engine bay to match the rest of the car, looks absolutely awesome when its done. Tucking wires and filling in holes are also great suggestions.

Also, go ahead and paint any of the motor parts while its out if you want. A tubular K-member would take off some weight and create a lot more elbow room as well.

clear coat would also help you keep the under hood cleaner easier. and if i were you i'de buy a nice set of valve covers w/o coil bungs and relocate them under the cowl. it looks so much cleaner that way.
