What do you all think of my engine bay??

The powdercoating was all done by the same guy. I still need to polish the fuel rails though. Just thought I'd get some feedback.

Pics at bottom of page.

I was in the process of an opti swap, which is why I've got disconnected hoses in there. I've also switched back to a black MAP sensor, but I'm thinking about donig a brushed aluminum casing on a few things?? Yaay or nay??

NICE! You have good taste. I just can't figure out why that engine looks familiar... .

I would steer away from the red silver and black and go more towards just the red and black theme myself, would have done the water pump thrmo housing black, black throttle boddy, and I'd do the fuel rails in black as well, maybe some vette fuel rail covers to really smooth it out, black with red lettering of your choice. It looks really nice just not entirely my taste, good job!

Like the powdercoating, have you considered polishing all of the bare aluminum in there? It would really make it stand out!

I had to chuckle about that when I looked at your pic. Great looking bay you got there.

I've actually considered polishing all the aluminum in there, but having no expertise in doing so makes me a little hesitant. The brushed aluminum stuff is still a thought, as I'm not really ready to start the visual enhancements. Still have performance oriented stuff to do......

I'm thinking of staying away from the chrome actually. See too many with it.

On another note, your profile says K-Town. Air Force, or other???? I pass through there quite a bit, and love it every time. Good Beer.
