Engine Bay ...Almost Done!
Just a few more pc's to go. Got the alternator cover in. Thanks to member "SLIK" for advice on that! 
It's hard to take pic's of shiny stuff in a shadowy engine bay, but I added an SS sheet w/ chrome edging in the flat area under the new BBK filter. Pain to get it in there, but I like it. It fills up a large black plastic area after removing the stock air box. I have somebody custom working on an aluminized carbon fiber cowl cover. Kind of iffy on that because it will show with the hood closed. Now I'm stuck polishing the engine area as much as I clean the body.

The cool thing about these cars is there are so many parts available for the engine bay, you can customize it and still be different.

My Silver and Black smooth rail covers are on their way from Ecklers. With chrome caps, alternator, master cylinder and booster cover. Can't hardly wait to see what I put together.
