What do i need to make my engine bay a lot prettier?I have an Apex Type 2 FMIC to fit(with shiny hotpipes),Apexi Power Intake and a Blitz spark plug cover.I've always wanted an attractive engine bay,so what else would i need? Samco hoses?Stainless manifold?

Stainless manifold stay shiney for like 2 mins lol. Get a slam panel,get ur rocker cover done,engine damper,catch tank,battery & fuse box cover,grounding kit,Strut brace,bonnet dampers,alloy rad and some nice shiney engine and rad caps lol

I think a nice colour scheme helps.

Vac / radiator hoses, intake joiners. You get the idea.

if my engine bay ever looked HALF as good as these,i'd be more than delighted! It's interesting to see so many red cars(obviously unable to use the obligatory blue samco hoses!)
