Default Any pictures tricked out engine bays?

I'd like to see some pictures of really tricked out engine bays. I have to admit I'm looking for ideas for something to do this winter. I need a project, so I thought I would trick out and detail my engine compartment.

Well sir, you are going to be in for a treat because Corvette owners love accessorizing their engine bays. Not me, but a lot of other guys.

Agree, like a clean look more, but do appreciate the time and money some spend under the hood. Here is mine.

Mine is about less is more and keeping it clean, tasteful, and subtle.

This was about 5 months ago.
The engine is apart again for a refresh along with transmission and twin disk clutch.

The bling has been repolished and the headers are now ceramic coated. The only thing not polished are the fuel injectors which are painted silver. Coil packs are relocated inside the fenders, wiring is minimized.


This is it when it's "needing a refresh"

I don't mind some subtle appearance add-ons but I prefer the use of performance mods to do most of the dressing up
