What are some things that I can do to the engine bay to make it look better? Already have the EGR and AIR removed and plan on removing the AC system this weekend. Anything else fairly else I can do while i'm in there?

 

Wire mod.

 

depending on how nasty your engine looks, i got some engine degreaser from autozone that cleaned up my engine pretty good.

 

an you elaborate some...

 

paint your lid, intake, colored wire loom, emblem pro decals..

 

these

dont forget whistler headlights

 

battery relocated

 

Do not get colored wire loom.. that **** is for ricers and looks dumb as ****

 

paint the under hood plastics

 

if you ever pull then engine clean the bay up then spray down some rustoleum truck bed liner.did this to my 95 and it looks really good and is real tough

 

I'm always a fan of doing some custom Fuel Rail Covers. Take some from a C5, fill in the CORVETTE lettering, and have them paint matched to the car, add some CAMARO or TRANS AM badging to them where the CORVETTE was and it looks great IMO.

Wire mod is also nice, polish up the brake lines

Just make it spotless!

 

Wire mod, hood latch relocation, fill holes, paint plastic, polish metal pieces, paint rest of bay, relocate grounds, new lid, any other dress up pieces you want.

Before:


After:

 

Paint your battery's lettering, remove battery stickers, paint the red cap on the fuse boxes, paint the oil dipstick handle, remove foil wrap on fuel line/evap line as its not needed anyways, PCM cover, paint windshield washer reservoir.. little more you can do lol

 

Never said I was done. Performance, appearance... it never ends!

And I don't intend to paint the oil dipstick handle or fuse cap.

 

If you're looking for a PCM, power steering, brake fluid cover, etc. We've gotcha covered http://yofab.com

 

How do you paint plastics for the air cleaner box

I did the "wire mod"
Also used simple green to get rid of all the grease/grime. (after using it make sure you wash it off really good because it starts to eat away on the paint)
Little bit of engine dress up
Re-painted my LID & the back of my headlights while doing the whistler mod
LS6 intake is painted silver aswell

 

i need to do some engine bay cleaning. safe to power wash the engine bay or just a normal hose with a nozzel on it?

 

maybe power wash if you cover everything besides the block but I wouldnt use something with high pressure, possibility to rip a wire loose from something probably not likely but i wouldnt risk it, its best to just use a sponge or rag and soapy solution and rinse with hose and dry with a towel.
