Default So, your engine bay rocks....show me some pics
I'm planning some bling mods for my engine bay and looking for ideas. Please post some pictures of yours. Thanks!

Just added some pictures at the end with my own engine bay mods. Thanks to everyone for your inspiration!!

Just a little low key contrast in Precision red and black. Courtesey of Ed (Pipedreams) at Nakidparts.

Nope, but they sure are smooth. Got mine from Atomic AutoSports. Next I'll be visiting Pipe Dreams for some chrome accessories.
