I've been thinkin about dressing my engine bay up a bit too but alas, I drive a lowly 12V, so no polished turbo housings or intake mani's for me. I was thinkin more a long the lines of color matched plug wires and plumbing. ECS or Blauparts (can't remember which, maybe both) sells all kinds of **** in a bunch of different colors to facilitate something like that. Or did you have more extensive plans?

Color matching is cool, but it can get overwhelming pretty fast and become ricer. Thats why I want a cleaner, polished look maybe. I didn't know about Blauparts though, so I might check them out. Silver stuff would be cool. But samco only has red, blue and black. Too much red and black in the engine would look bad.

A4rob was the first guy I thought of when I saw the title of this thread. This guy has a lot less going on but I really like where it's going..

For a small cheap start you could go to a Lowes or something and get some black plasti dip spray and spray away. I sprayed my caps and it's a small difference but I think it looks nicer.
