Default Post your Custom Engine Bay(s)

I've always loved seeing what people do with they're engine bays with polished parts and paint and parts, there's so much you can do to dress up an engine bay to make it unique, without always spending a ton of money! Please share your ideas and let everyone know your resources and methods!!


Here's my Black&Blue Engine Bay! I wanna start adding some polished and chrome parts and accents to add to my chrome rims and exhaust. I think polished looks clean and tough. So whether I do a fenderwell intake or open CAI, ill be doing a chrome intake tube, chrome and blue filter, stainless Power-Log, polished dog bones, chrome oil cap, radiator cap, I wish I could have a polished throttle body, and then I'm looking for other places where I can add some polished parts that'd look good. I will be taking out my Coolant reservoir and painting it glossy black, and painting the cap blue so that that ugly yellow color is gone. I'll be doing the same with the solvent reservoir and any other ugly yellowed parts. And then also I wanna ad blue spark wires and do some of my wire loom blue.

Not too much done, painted the hood liner and added a cold air intake.

Does anyone else here wish there was a way to condense or conceal all the wiring in here? The scattered wiring and tubes is my least favorite part of the engine bay and makes it look less clean. Has anyone done much about that? Some wiring and wire loom is cool if its colored er something but I hate the cluster of crap on the right side and behind the engine bay mainly. I'd like to find a way to redirect or extend and conceal wiring that I can and maybe change out some of the tubing with colored clear or stainless. For instance I found a stainless coolant hose kit on amazon that id think look nice. I'd like to run without and engine cover and show off a chromed UIM and valve covers and stuff but the engine cover hides alot of the ugly wiring. Ik the ZZP billet fuel logs clean up the top end alot. I have lots of plans for my engine bay and just not enough money yet haha.
