Blinging the engine "rainy day :P"

Was a bit bored today, so I decided to clean up a few small things in the engine bay...

Sanded, buffed, polished hood latches "hope it doesnt start rusting now

New bolts all around the engine bay

Next is to bling battery terminals

I only had the battery for about 2 months, no problems so far and I only drive my car once a week.

Yes, boredom makes you do strange things.

have you though about using that chrome spray paint? that stuff works fine for small parts

Just take the stuff back off and clear coat it...that will help a bunch. No sense in doing all that work for nothing.

It always gets me how just the littlest things and a few mins can really perk up a cars look, nice simple and near free up grade your underhood looks much cleaner

Yeah new hardware is clean, but it's supposed to be. What about more obvious things like pulling the rad out and painting the fins black, masking off the glass of the headlamps and painting plastic housing so they dont look like somone pissed on them (nothing personal, mine look the same). I'm not flaming what you did by any means, just maybe some suggestions that may clean it up that much more. Good work.
