Default Engine dress up

Hey All

bought a 2017 Z51 2LT coupe Black Rose about 4 weeks ago up near kansas city.
Any 1 having done any engine area bling could you post some pics. I'm having a hard time picturing what i want to do to it.
My old c6 was a Z51 3lt coupe in Montery Red i never had trouble seeing what i wanted to do to it. at almost every show it was a winner. The last show it was in before i traded it in it won 1st in class Best Engine Compartment and Best of show. I never had any trouble seeing it set up but this c7 i am.

The 1 item i know ill be doing is another Steve Ray hood pad similiar or the same as my old 1.

Here's a few pics of my old setup.

Any help with pics much appreciated

thanks all

FWIW, with >25 mods did not add any engine compartment “bling" to my 3 1/2 year old C7. Decided before going to the one car show where I would bring my Grand Sport (I usually bring my Street Rod) I added 3 minor items.

This is PDF that may provide some ideas and has some pointers for install of an alternator and fuse block cover: http://netwelding.com/Engine_Compartment.pdf

Below are 3 of the many pics in the PDF:

Pete@showstoppers (supporting vendor) has some great options, and can do one-off custom stuff too. He's great to work with, and his prices are very good for what he does. I've just started.
