Default Engine bay bling plus VE wheel

My engine bay is almost complete. I got additional parts (surge tank, washer tank, radiator cover) from American Hydrocarbon to compliment the FRC's. Thanks Pat. I picked up a carbon fiber power duct at a great discount through the corvette forum store. And I found a brake reservoir cover in the parts for sale forum. Thanks BaneZ06. I then added yellow silicone hoses from CCA to compliment the hydrocarbon and carbon fiber pieces. Thanks Chip. I love the look, I'm thinking of adding a polished SS alternator cover and then calling it done. I also added a Vette Essentials steering wheel to finish up my interior. I wanted it subtle, just yellow stitching so that it would match the stitching on my seats.

Very nice! The new VE steering wheel is really nice. It even looks a little beefier than the stock OEM wheel.

Much appreciated! I really love the wheel, it looks great with my DJ Motorsports black seats w/yellow stitching.

Thanks! I love the hoses, I think the color is close enough. Every time I saw Chip's group buy thread I said I gotta do this, and finally did. Loving the wheel too!

Thanks! The engine bay really wasn't on my "to do" list this year but once I got started I couldn't stop.

Good eye! I had them add extra foam padding, not a lot but it is a little thicker than OEM. It makes for a nice feel (in my opinion).

I like the hoses. I like the contrast and the yellow lettering on the FRC's. Hmmmm...I think I will call Chip for some blue hoses. The hydro parts look nice in there. The logo that you did for me is great! Thanks a bunch. I have the Carbon Fiber Intake cover for your car but you might want to wait for the BLACK CHROME one I will be rolling out next month.
