Hit up moderndaymuscle.com and get yourself a new coolant overflow tank. They all seem to yellow over time and a new white one will stand out. Looks great. BTW, the coolant tank is only $20, and the change it makes is worth so much more.

Looks great way better than mine. If I can offer one piece of advice get a new coolant tank. The yellowish fading one just does not do your bay justice.

Re: just finished engine bay for world of wheels
I'm loving the TPI, valve covers, and the AC condensor! So what I am wondering is did you just polish the parts or did you get them chrome plated? I really want to know because that looks awesome.

Re: just finished engine bay for world of wheels
I wound up polishing the stock parts i had ordered a set from a place that was already polished but after really looking at the quality of work i thought i could do better so lessened learned did my own the only thinh not polished are the valve covers they are chrome

Re: just finished engine bay for world of wheels
That looks awesome. Good job keeping it clean. Those new bottles will make a big difference. What about your exhaust manifolds? They are a pain in the butt to remove and clean up, but that would help too I think.

Re: just finished engine bay for world of wheels
