Default Added a little bling to the Engine Bay

This morning I added two chrome accessories to my engine bay and I am pretty happy with the results.

The Chrome Fuse Box Cover and the Slotted Alternator Cover are the new additions. (The Catch-Can was already in there)

I wanted to share a couple photos in case anyone out there was thinking about buying either of these items and would appreciate seeing how they looked installed.

Oh I am already terminal with the disease..... I have already added the AIRAID intake, had the windows tinted, new wheels, catch can and now these two little goodies. Working on researching which exhaust to upgrade to. Then rotors, sway bars and calipers followed by new shifter, etc..., etc...

It's all good, clean EXPENSIVE fun.

Found them both on eBay through a place called Yates Performance. It was $129 for the both of them including shipping. Pretty decent deal I thought.

Be Careful! Adding just a little bling can get addictive ... Trust me I know!

Thank you, all the painted pieces except the FRC's I purchased from West Coast Corvettes. The trick is to order them unpainted them I take them to my body shop and have them painted VR so I know they will come out perfect.

My Callaway CAI I had custom made then sent it off to the plating company I use to have it chromed.

Al the stainless pieces you see are custom fabricated by American Car Craft who is a vendor on the forum.

Look great, where did you get the hood liner done? Also a nice looking Jag in the garage.
