Show off your engine bay!
 

Looking for inspiration on ways to improve the appearance of the engine bay. Post your pictures that show unique ideas!

Improve how? My car has hydrodipped fuel rail covers (I wouldn't have done it) and a cold air intake. Most of the "improvements" people make to the underhood of these cars looks really tacky, but that's just my opinion.

Polished.

I wouldn’t recommend. If I could do it over again I’d have it covered in oil grime and dirt.

As much as I like Josh's posts, bling don't make her sing.

Hell I don't even run FRCs. Those things are dead weight.

Just clean it. Keep the plastic and rubber dressed with protectant. All I did was remove all the eyesore safety decals and such. In fact, the only reason my FRCs are hydro-dipped is because I didn't want the OEM red covers on my blue car. Clean is mean.

Some people like the classic look and some don't. It's been discussed on this Forum many times over the years. I get nothing but complements at the shows and most importantly, I enjoy it! It's my C5 tribute my C2...

Personally, I think the fuel rail covers look cheap whether they’re painted or not. But to each their own! I simply relocated/deleted some things in the midst of adding performance modifications. FAST 92mm intake, FAST fuel rails, LS2 TB, and a ton of other goodies going on this Winter while I do heads/cam.

I plan on dressing up my engine bay. IMO, the C5 has way too much plastic under the hood. Things like a chrome top radiator cover, chrome caps, battery cover, chrome alternator, body colored fuel rail covers, etc, all make the engine bay more presentable...

I used to do up my old pontiac motors. I think the old motors dress up better. Less cluttered.

Samesies! :D FAST92, LS2 throttle body, billet fuel rails, 36# injectors, and real valve covers so I can ditch the FRCs.
