i was at a car show and some guy w/ a 300zx had a bunch of little strobe lights hidden around in his engine bay. It was kinda of ricey but at night it really looked kinda cool. That's probably more for actual show type contests but i thought i'd throw that in there anyway.

I need more bling in the engine bay myself, maybe it's time for some of those resovior caps and fuse box cover.

They are actually of good quality John. Also that site was the best price I found on there. The radiator brackets are really nice too.

I know that place. It's like 5 min from my house. I know all the guys taht work there.

Here's a pic of my engine last summer, not finished but it can still give you some ideas.

Some things that help make a engine bay look better are: a Strut Bar, Wire Loom Cover, Vaccume Lines, Optima Battery,Spark Plug Wires, Intake, Breather, chrome/polished parts, and a good engine detail really helps (haha I need one). Any little things help.

daym, I need this thread, My car's gonna be in a show 2days form now and my wheel sponsor said I should clean up the engine bay, any ideas how to get the stock black rubber stuff shiny? don;t think we got time to loom everything and no moolah left for silicon hoses

Oil it. Seriously, a little oil on there will bring up a shine without doing much to harm the hoses and stuff, ulike (or so I've heard) ArmorAll whick will harden and dry them.

Simple Green first, then oil. Bammo, instant shine.

 

[ECLIPSE4x4]

there is a product at auto stores called either c12 or c2. It is in a aersol can. a chrome lable. This stuff is awesome. I would use that over oil. Oil stinks. the smell is horrible.
