Default Just cleaned the Engine bay, Whatcha think?

Hey guys, just scrubbed my engine bay with rags and toothbrushes

What do you guys think? Any other little touches I can add to make it look a little more.. "showy?"

Don't mind the lids, my friend said he could paint it for me and it ended up being a job gone horribly wrong, and I needed the car. So don't blame me! Repainting it soon, professionally.

Looks good. A Head Plate and Manifold Plate would look nice. I just put them on mine. You can see mine at www.fquick.com/indy2kz28 in my album.

Looks good. You could wire mod, battery cover, and then get some more bling under there (ps cap, oil cap, fuse box lid, etc) if you're going for the "showy" look...

Looks good.
Now just get a tub of Mothers Mag/Aluminum polish and go over all the metal parts. Some parts may be hard to get to,thus cause anger.

What the others have said ^. Plus as you probably already know, we sell a whole line of mirror polished and brushed stainless dress up items. Personally, I've always loved how our polished stainless bolt kit looks on a red car http://specializedstainless.com
