Debating on engine "looks"

now i feel that we're getting closer to the real point of the this thread.
it's never been about the cars, it's the women.
" First you get the sugar... Then you get the power... then you get the women ".

I’m half through mine, because I like the look of the motor. I want do the fuel rails, move the evap and do a bit more cable cleanup.
Moving the coils is a bit of work, but it is worth it.

I am a little lost on your comment. If you go to lots of car shows, then I would think you would agree with the engine bling. As far as more power, who is going to see it unless you are out showing off on the street. I have nothing against power options, but I also know many are not into adding power as they want the appearance factor. I don't go to shows any longer, but I do go to local cruise-ins and that is where the bling factor comes in.
As for the OP. if you don't repaint the FRC the radiator may look out of place. Just my $.02

I occasionally go to local cruises and take my daughter (7 years old). I know my car isnt a "show car" really, but I like to be unique . I'm close to as many power mods as needed for now (LT headers, cai, Corsa pipes, and tune coming this spring). Planning on new search skins, upgrading stereo, and maybe some LED lights or something. One thing for sure, you can never have it all done. Lol

Awfully strange looking valve covers with spark plug boots sticking out!

I'm not one for all of those cheesy looking chrome dress up pieces, although some of the valve covers & coil packs posted above do look nice

As "hmmmm16417" mentioned .... These would certainly clean up the engine compartment:
Available in natural aluminum, black, orange, red and polished aluminum finish.

I sure would like to see some photos of these installed and any negatives found during the install.
They are a little pricey though ...
