Dress Up Time

I am looking for items I can do to dress up the engine and interior. I want to keep it reasonable but add some flash when you pop the hood or doors.

Any ideas? Remember reasonable!!!!!

MBA Products is flashy but I don't consider it reasonable.

I would start with wire looms. For something like $40 you can make your engine comp. look different.

Talking

from the less expensive and most noticeable things i would say TB Plate. I have an andorized red with the Z28 on it and it really stands out.
Other things you might want to take a look at one or the braided line sleeve kits from Reactive or a Ears which is about $30-40.
Then their is always chrome valve covers, Polished thingis, battery cover, polished fuel rails, painted intake manifold or just a bunch of stickers on the fan cover .

Some inexpensive modding would be an afternoon with a jar of Mothers Mag Aluminum polish, and a ton of elbow grease. Many of the bare metal parts in the engine bay are aluminum, and will polish up nicely. Keep the engine bay clean and detailed, and it'll stand out from the 90% of folks who don't.
