Default B16 Dress Up

Now that I got my B16 swap completed, I want to dress up my engine bay a bit and make it look nice, any suggestions?

put it in my car....lol, j/p, is there any type of look you're going for in particular? there is plenty of stuff from colored silicone hoses, steel braid, and polished bits and pieces. Or some go with a theme, like spoon bits or mugen bits...i say save the money and add some power first before you pretty it up too much...but if you're into show, i guess...i'm just not into too much going on under the hood, i like KISS (keep it simple stupid) sometimes it give me a headache trying to check lines in a car that has every thing looking like the rainbow coalition...

Paint your valve cover, get an aftermarket oil cap of some sort and maybe some stainless hoses. Other than that, polish and armor all are your friends.

Hose covers and basically enything else you can get at Pep Boys will make your engine bay look straight cheez.

Summer dress? Hot pants?

I think just painting the valve cover and keeping the engine bay clean looks good for a street car.

A clean engine bay is much better than a chromed out one
