Default Let's See those Tricked Out Engine Bays!!!!!!!!!!
I have done quite a bit to my engine bay and want to do maybe a couple more things but don't want to overdo it. Let's see your engine bays so I can maybe get some ideas. Thanks.

Looks like you’re done and it looks very nice, interesting reflection in the glass

I actually painted that myself. Had O'reilly's auto parts make me a spray can of millennium yellow and sprayed it one day, clear coated the next. Just be real careful.

It looks great!! I would have Ed @ Nakidparts.com etch you a fuse box cover plate and I would say your done. You dont want to over do that color. You have a great mixture already. Oh how much did the paint cost you from O'Reilly?

How did you paint the "Corvette" lettering black??

Looks great by the way. I may do the same thing in Monterey Red.

You can get the inlays for the fuel rail covers in all different colors. Mine are actually chrome, but they look black in the pic. You can get them from www.atomicautostore.com for 38.50 shipped.

I believe the can of spray paint in millennium yellow was 19.99 and I paid about 4.00 for a can of clear coat. I've used it on several items. Saved me a lot of money and it matched perfectly.

If I decide to get a painted spoiler, how easy is it to remove the stock black one??
