Engine dressup pix (in progress)

[adidas_kn]

Well I've been installing some of my dressup pieces in my engine bay to spice things up abit. Will do allot more when I pull the motor next month. Having the engine out will make it a heck of alot easier to get to those hard to reach looms and hoses. For the wire loom I actually stripped the tape and removed the old black looms to make it much nicer and easier to access the wires if needed. There is allot more on the way like painted tranny case, engine bay painted gloss black to set the details off some more, more polished parts, more painted parts, 2.75" 45 deg blue silicone elboe and 3" coupler with stainless t-bolt clamps for the CAI, My blue taylor plug wires(whenever they decide to show up), remove the whole A/C system to clear up some under hood space and weight, etc...

Let me know what you guys think.

Looks good but it seems like its missing something!

 

[TheKrazyRaven]

those runners and valve covers painted or polished? i cant tell

 

[adidas_kn]

What's it missing? If your talking about the radiator shroud cover, I'm waiting for Groundpounders to make the carbon fiber ones. Mine had its sticker peal off when I washed the engine bay.
The runners and covers are powercoated silver. I will probably polish them in the future, got my old covers sitting around looking pathetic. Might just sand em' smooth and polish em' up.

for what?? FI?

 

[yourshdw]

Its strange its like you have all this blue around the heart so it seems empty in the middle!
even with the powder coating!
maybe if the fuel rail was blue???
it looks good but it doesnt seem balanced to me!

shoot me an idea of how you would like the cover.. i got the cf sheet and can make it to what ever shape or design that you think would look good.

Told you it's not finished yet. When the motor comes out more will be painted and polished. And yes FI is in this cars future.

I LIke! Not crazy about the loom. But the blue and silver looks sharp.
I too agree that the fuel rail should be blue, it will give it a nice touch.

I noticed the blue braided rad. hoses too. Looks good.

consider the fuel rail idea if its possible but any how post pics when finished i would love to see it..I was also thinking of painting/powdercoating in my engine bay but because my car is navy blue i was going to color match with a charcaol combination! Just so it doesnt look so bland anymore!

Not digging the blue loom too much, it distracts from the intake/valve covers. I think new black loom would have looked better, with maybe a few blue hoses.

I do like how the intake looks though!

 

[Silver95]

Everything looks good. Id change the loom to black, but even with the blue it looks more organized.

I think it looks hott You need to come up to Aviano sometime when we have a car show.... The SHO's need to roll together around Italy...

 

[ShoGuy93]

I must say your engine bay looks killer! But how is your Optima blue top battery doing? I was going to get one but i found out it is for marine/ boats only and i didn't think it would hold up for the sho and with my system? If it does good can you give me the model # for the battery you got?

Thanks
