mine is just the stock one as well, just wasnt stock on my car.. the front blue hose is off, was just playing with some ideas.

i like your setup though, extremely clean. Like the painted letters, gonna have to try that out. But i think if you changed the engine cover you would have to change many other items to get it to flow as it does now.. The only thing that i can see that i would do is change out the battery terminals.

Your engine bay looks awesome.
Just get the silicon IC pipe.
How did you clean that engine like that??
GOod stuff.
 
Thanks man! Yea, my next plans are definately to purchase the silicon IC pipe..as far as the cleanliness of the bay, i wash the car every week as well as the engine bay (atleast every part i can physically reach) with plan ole' soap and water.. (thumb)

Here's what I have done with mine. Gloss black painted valve cover, with the DG Motorsports CF cover.

i like that look! i've got a used stock cover that i'm going to clean up over the winter and maybe do that wrinkle paint thing, probably red too, seeing that is my theme under the hood. good work!(thumb)

battery terminal change?

yeah that was the only thing i could see that i would change. Engine is black and yellow then there are the grey caps on the terminals. maybe if he did a ground wiring kit or something it would make more sense to change them, but he wanted ideas and opinions and thats all i could come up with.

once again emaculate engine bay (thumb)
