They all look nice but I'd have to cast my vote for the clown.

I dissagree, I dont like the Thin metal covers over the valve covers on the yellow one...they look kinda cheap IMO. I guess you could say "well its better than plastic" but I just like the way the original plastic covers look when painted smooth. To the OP I like your setup, but is the battery cover a different color red than the rest? may just be the pic. anyways Nice engine bay!

The best kind of engine bling is when the engine is the bling.

Wow! Thats perfect, where did you get those covers, and (dare I ask) how much were they? Probably one of the better engine bays I've ever seen, simple but clean!

Default Engine Compartment

The cars are all good, in my opinion.
Everyone does there thing with what they have and what money they have.
I love the look of the clowns engine and the super charger is icing on the cake. That's what so nice about these cars. There is alot you can do to them. Mine drive train is basically stock except for the Bullets and the cold air, and it has the 3:15 rear end but it is no slouch. It also has slotted rotors and Z06 calipers. Here is a couple of shots of the interior. They are not the best quality

Exactly!!!

But as usual, from me, if the owner likes it, that's all that matters.

No offense to you but I hate all that plastic crap. It's way too busy and an engine should look like an engine. Not a bunch of cheap fake chrome.

Most every thing from the air intake to the intake manifold are larger then stock, except the throttle body
