You can't improve on that. Chevrolet has always insured the Corvette's engine bay received the extra attention to appearance that the other models in the mark weren't always privy to. You can make it look different but it will never look better.

To this after a few years of buying things for it,

The pin stripe on your fuel rail covers and 5.7 look good. I have headers on my car and my striping which is the second set is curling due to the heat. How do you keep yours like new?

I also have headers but have not had any issues with them curling. Mine are actually made out of stainless steel pieces and can take the heat pretty good so they stay in place pretty good.

I have the stainless steel lettering and those are fine however I can't find anywhere where for stainless steel pinstriping and the 5.7 fill in. Did you have them made?
If not, where to buy?

thanks

I did not have them made. The company that did make them is called KEWL. Not sure if they make them anymore though as I bought these shortly after I bought the car and that was back in '07 and I can't seem to find anything on the interweb.

Kinda plane Jane.. but I prefer it that way.

Starting to look into a Coil pack relocation, Fuel rails, and RED valve covers.
See if I can remove the red factory plastic covers and clean up the look even more.
