Show me your engine bays!!
I am in the process of changing the look of my engine bay. I just installed the billet valve covers and next I am looking at fuel rails, caps, etc. However, I would like to see what some others have done with thier engine bays.
Here is what mine looks like so far. I know the wire cluster needs to go. I am working on it...

Good Luck with yours...we do want a pic when yours is completed

I know a lot of people here like "Bling" in their engine compartment, however speaking for "myself ONLY" I cant justify chrome screws, red or blue oil catch can, etc..in the engine bay where it will never or very seldom be seen..
Now if your talking about wheels, OR wide body , I say go for it if you like that look... I'd rather spend my $$ on performance mods... When I was in High School, we had a saying.. "If it don't go, CHROME IT"
At that time I was driving a 1951 "Flathead Mercury" Yup I'm that old...
I'm "NOT" a "hater" of doing under hood mods for "appearance only, and if thats what your into I say "Go For It".. and enjoy whenever you have your hood open at a car show..

Here's mine - I have a cover coming for my brake reservoir still, trying to get CF for it but so far I've received two of the wrong one, may try a color-matched one instead if West Coast Vettes ever get back to me.
here's the before:

Here's mine. I know it is money spent on something that won't be seen that much, but it's my first and only Corvette and I get a kick out of 'modding it' to make it all mine.
The supercharger will come when it is out of warranty.
