Question Pics of engine bay dressed up?

I am trying to find pictures of dressed up engine compartments and not finding many at all. I want to improve the looks under the hood and have already polished what I could. Does anyone have or know where to find good pics to get some ideas or color schemes to prevent "ricing".
Thanks

I have seen the pics of the fuel rail covers and they do look nice but how much work is involved w/ installing regular Corvette covers? Those look great and it's pretty impressive that you made them by hand.

Holy ****! That is extreme. Too extreme for this old man's tastes, but Holy ****! Did you polish the Borla yourself? How long did it take or cost to polish it? I was thinking about doing it but I don't have the right tools to do it with any speed. A local powder coating place wants $400-$600 to polish the complete cat-back. I figured for about $200 in equipment I could do an OK job at home at the end it's polished and I have the stuff to do more myself.

Yes, I polished the Borla myself. You can get all the equipment from eastwood co. catalog (or online) and buy a cheap bench grinder/1 speed drill combination along with all the polishing compounds and buff wheels and it can be done. Takes awhile though. 4-6 bills is way too much!!

CamaroCasanova - How long did the rear section of the Borla take you? Eastwood is only a few miles from here. I am going to stop in there soon for the G2 caliper paint and touch up brushes. Just to clarify when you say 70K do you mean dollars or miles?

Craig - It wasn't working so I'll try it later.

95 Z-28 - How much time did you spend on the alt. and bracket? Does the bracket remove easily? I haven't looked to see and can't right now.

Thanks.
