Another Before and After (pics)

Again I found this interesting. Before mods and after mods. The first pic was borrowed, since I didn't have pics of my own. I wanted to show if you choose a theme and follow though with it, how different a little paint and elbow grease can change the appearance of your ride. Some may like it others will not. It only matters to the eyes of the beholder and who owns the title.

Less is more. But if you like it nothing else matters. Enjoy!

I think it looks very good with the mods. A little color does go a long way to make an engine bay really pop.

Add some $$ to your paint & elbow grease, 'cause I'm seeing some new parts in there also!!

Looks good,

Yeah, you are correct. However, other than the chrome additions the entire engine bay was a DIY. Used spray cans and saved a few dollars as well.
