You can paint them with high temp paint, powder coat or polish. A quick polish with Mothers will brighten it up. I would recommend taking it off to polish (etc). A trick that I will pass on if you want to polish is to use Mothers and after polishing you will notice a gray paste in all the small grooves and wrinkles. Take regular white flour from your kitchen, sprinkle in onto the area that was polished and then using a soft rag rub it gently. The flour will pickup all the polish in the recessed areas and it will come out really nice.

Sure does!! 
Thanks for the Kudo's.
All of these look sharp, I love going to cruise nights/car shows and peeking at what others have done under the hood. Some of the subtle and not-so-subtle touches are amazing.
