You will also find a LOT in the Appearance forum. There are a lot of threads on this and even links to sites with parts.

A lot of things you can do to dress up your engine bay just involves some effort and thought, and not a lot of $$..

Also, having some of your parts chromed it cheaper than buying parts and has a custom look..

Steve's website is the BOMB! Constantly raising the bar.....

Check out the "Wire-Hide" mod.

I've forwarded it on to all my buddies who are car nuts and they all drool over the projects.

Some factory parts from other models give a great custom appeareance too. Corvette FRC's & the Mobil 1 oil cap come to mind and are very popular.

Though not as popular, changing the color of the split-loom tubing is also a nice way to change up the engine bay.
