Thanks in advance :-)

If you have a lead on some older threads on this forum with chrome bling on the engines & bays please send me the link. I appreciate the help for a fellow CF member.

Looking for ideas

Those indicate I want to follow this thread. Been looking for ideas myself. Don't really want a lot of "bling" just some ideas to dress it up under the hood a little bit.

I'll be selling these billet covers in this thread. I went a totally different direction.

Hi Proketus Ohhhh On another forum I belong to (not auto related) the Popcorn indicated "Here we go again" aimed at noobs who are too lazy to search the forum for the answer they're looking for. I guess different forums have different meanings.

I purchased a few Chrome/Stainless parts for my 95 LT1. I am going to install a cover over my intake manifold and a cover (5 pieces) for my Throttle Body. I like the look of the LT4 Throttle Body that's painted red. I may buy a spare body and paint it also.
I am also having a pair of Rail Covers painted the same Torch Red color of the car with Chrome lettering. I do not want to over do it with Chrome. Just enough to dress the engine & compartment up a little besides being clean.
