Dressing Up The Engine Bay, Opinions? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I was interested in dressing up the engine bay, had an idea and was looking for some opinions, now i'm not big into exterior chrome of carbon fiber but I think there's a place for it in engine bay, and I couldn't decide between which way I wanted to go, and so was thinking of doing a pretty much 50/50 split of raw carbon and polished stainless, what do you guys think of that? Would it be weird? Cool? Gimmicky? I want to hear your opinions! Thanks!

that may work nicely.
I stuck with as much orange as is available and Carbon Fiber (dipped) my engine cover.

That looks good, mind if I ask the price range on getting stuff dipped like that?

I got mine done by DG customs in el cajon CA

I got a good deal becuase I was the first Camaro they did....

not sure what they would normally charge but it shouldn't be more than 200.

most of the orange parts come from carid and rpi designs are run from 30-90 each part (except the larger parts will go over 100)

I have carbon fiber and the Showstoppers underhood package.
