That's one of the most unique engine compartments that I've seen.

I like the sides and lid matching and it looks like the engine cover is very unique, it's just I'm more into seeing the intake and valve covers on a healthy V8. Over all I'm feelin' it just not something I'd probably do.

The Holden engine cover is a bit much, IMO. Paint and flames look good though.

The engine cover makes the engine bay more low-profile, i like it. That would definitely be the last thing i would expect to see if i were to look under the hood of someones f-body.

I think if you took off the flames from the rear-right and rear-left sides and got black battery/fuse covers it would look kickass. It's a bit too busy in there with those extra flames, IMO. Props for being different though, never know till you try.

that's an extremely clean engine compartment. should give everyone a surprise at the track.

Engine cover is doing it's job too well IMO. Looks clean, but there's nothing wrong with the appearance of our intake manifolds IMHO.

Wow, had to bring this back up. That's pretty badass. The Holden (?) cover looks great, but I'm not partial to the flames. I think I would have painted the covers on the left and right orange or maybe black instead of silver so that the focal point is the center of the car with the engine cover and the lid. That's what I have in mind for my car. To make all the other stuff disappear and have the engine be the focal point. Kudos for being original.
