Ebay has billet optima battery covers. You could also put on some FRC's, more mba billet covers, goodyear hose kit, ovc spark plug wires, air/egr delete and headres just to name a few. All that with a good engine detail would make your engine look sweet!

yea FRC's look good and paint the intake and just clean everything up. for instance if you dont wana get FRCs then get some steel wool and shine those things up.

Wow. That's insane!

Simple things to consider that (IMO) really make a engine bay look good would be to polish the AC condensor and the brake lines. Wet sand with like 800 grit moving up to 1000 or so, then rub on some aluminum polish and it'll shine real good.

fuel rail covers definitely help. and there are a lot of options. you can paint your intake blue and keep the covers black and get blue writing, or you can keep the manifold aluminum and paint the covers blue.

then like gentner said, over-the-valve-cover spark plug wires always look awesome.

make a cover from aluminum or plexi to cover everything. That's what all the probuilt cars do under the hood. Easy and truely custom

Well you can buy one from RKSport, but it will literary cost an arm and a leg . I personaly don't care for covering the engine. I like to show it off .
