Need Underhood Detail Ideas
I am kind of at a loss of what to do next, or to just stop. I have a set of coil covers from a vette that I could smoothe and paint. They would hide the MSD coils... The other problem is the intake and valve covers do not match body color, so I am not sure if any contrast there.
I don't want to spend a whole lot, but any paint work I can do so it is cheap. One thing I was thinking about is the underhood insulation bowtie painting.... Oh, and I have polished the blower plenum like the a/c thing...

Ya know! I was going to polish the maf the last time I had it off.... Oh well. I'll pull it off and do that.
THANKS!!!! Keep them coming! What about the coil covers?

coil relocation and then turn your attention to the valve covers. your car is a '98 and would have perimeter bolt valve covers, assuming you have stock heads on your supercharged engine. if you have the stock valve covers, unlikely as it may be, i would rough them up a little and apply a black wrinkle finish to them. i did that to the valve covers on my '01 and they came out great. you can also have the valve covers polished. that would probably go well with your other polished items under the hood.

No carbon fiber. The valve covers are already smoothed and painted matching the intake. I like the headlights painted!!!! I may have to do that!
I do also need to move the grounds...
