Engine Bay Opinions

[DirtShark]

This is my engine bay a year or two ago. I've changed it up a little bit since then. What I did was pretty much black everything. I'm not a fan of chrome. What I wanted was when you open the hood the engine itself really pops out at yah. It's iron block and heads, just painted silver. Since this picture I added a Undercover Innovations radiator support cover in black, air filter lid(instead of the chrome one). Like on your car...I'd never run a chrome booster and master because I don't think that's something you want to advertise and show off. That's just my taste and opinion though.

I also don't run inner fender wells. For one, tire clearance issues. And two, I think it looks awesome! I think it's cool to open the hood and see all the steering and it really cleans up the engine compartment.




Not the best picture since I was playing with lighting here....

Well done love the black all the way around the motor really makes it pop. Great pic too.

I like the brushed aluminum look.

Wanted to revive this thread and share my progress although it hasnt really been much.
Got rid of the chrome rad support, had the new one powder coated in gloss black and got of rid of the stainless cowl panel and put the stock black plastic in.
Also I de-greased and steam cleaned the engine compartment. I really want to lose the chrome booster but havent had money to buy new one yet.

One thing that I did on mine was use a can of SEM tuxedo black and spray the hood liner.
I have considered redoing any stainless lines in the newer black sheath, and black fittings as well.
In my engine bay, the engine is the only thing with color, almost everything else is black, so it all blends into the background.

Thought I would share mine....I use a little orange and I little brushed stainless and aluminum to break up the black. Just my 2 cents.
