Need Some Engine Bay Clean Up Ideas Here is what my motor looks right now as it stands... I am ashamed to show it off compared to some members on here. So i am asking for some help. Here is the theme of my car. Black and Red.

-Some how install my catch can better? Any ideas???
-Take the silver decals off my lid
-Paint my FRCs.. I have no idea what color yet. All Black, All Red and paint the CORVETTE Black or visa versa??
-!WIRE MOD
-Paint Calipers Black.. (Part of theme)
-Black TTMs (Part of theme)
-STB.. Black or Red?
-SS covers for fuse box,battery etc...
-Polish A/C canister
-Paint radiator support glozz black
-Paint LS6 intake.. What color Red or Black??? I dunno even now how to take it off
Thanks for your ideas.....

I would go with polished or chrome tt's. That is just my opinion because for the most part I hate black rims. Also, I don't know how much it would cost, but I think black rims might look good with a red painted lip, you don't see that too much on fbodys. Paint the intake black, I think red will give it too much red. Also, if you are going to paint the engine stuff black, you might wanna consider the black ss covers for the fuse box or whatever you said. Just my thoughts. Good luck!

Verdad Gallardo IMO, why paint the intake black if its already black to begin with? Paint it close to black maybe... This is mine btw.
My theme is Pewter and black and I thought it was such a waste to color the intake black over black.
I'm not saying paint it like mine, but do whatever you think your color theme suits you.

Keeping it simple is the best advice I can give you.
What I would do:
Paint your intake a Silver Aluminum color to match your engine
Remove the decals
Coil Relocation
Red Anodized Fuel Rails (Gives it a look that says, "I mean business."

i would suggest doing what ive done (since my car is red also):
-polsihed a/c and ABS
-FRCs, filled and painted red
-manifold left unpainted(too much if the FRCs are painted too)
-!wire, !traction control, !hood latch, !grounds
plus I would relocate the catch can to a better place. that just seems like its slapped on there.

I will get the FRC painted red, and fill in the CORVETTE.
I will be doing the wire mod. I have no traction control and where can i put the grounds at?
Oh and towels. Its going to get dirty.
