** ENGINE BAY MODS **

Looking for some ideas to dress up my engine bay. I wanna do something w/ the engine cover itself & also some other parts. Getting ready to put it away for the winter so I'm looking for some cool ideas for winter projects. If any one has ideas or pics of things they've done that would be perfect!!!

Engine bay mods

You could always paint and add some chrome to your cover. Showstoppers also makes some great covers to hide some of the ugly stuff.

Yes, they are relocation brackets that attach to the valve covers similar to these. http://www.jegs.com/i/Proform/778/69...ductId=2417321

Engine Bay Clean-up

Here's a shot of mine. Just cleaning up some hoses makes a big difference.

These are crappy pics and don't have my wheel wheels in, but you get the picture.

Ditch the fuse box and ABS module (relocate)

Put nylon braided hose with AN fittings to replace factory rubber hoses and ditch the hose clamps

Add carbon fiber and relocate those hoses. You just need to find a theme and stick to it. Mine is carbon fiber and just looking clean. With all black and nickle color.
