finally got around to getting pics of my underhood dress up. Did it like two weeks ago for phase 1 but with work and crap havent had time to take the pics or get online much. So here they are.

Stock the way i bought it except for the open element

 

The way it is now with chrome valve covers, painted the front pieces above the radiator and around the hood latch stuff. Wanted to keep the silver and teal thing going on so i poainted the bolts or clips teal including the valve cover bolts and teh rest is silver or the chrome o give it a littel break up.

theres the front stuff also did that ribbed cover for the air switching valve stuff silver with the ribs teal u can kind of see it off to the left a little

 

heres a top view and a good one of the decals and valves. Decided to ge tthe top of the airlid a decal that read throttle body injected seeing as how i lift the hood and always have to explain that its not carbed. I htink the camaro and rs part just look cool so far everyone thats seen the airlid absolutely love it.

Next step is to do something with teh resivors and little odds and ends. As much as its gonna kill everyone i think im going to do something similar to the firebirds resivors with teh paint.

 

looks good

 

is the first pic older or what? the plastic doesnt look painted and the filter doesnt say "camaro" on it. What's the top half say?
Looks good though, a helluva lot cleaner than my Firebird... shoulda cleaned it while it was engineless... oh well...

 

looks really nice!

 

hey look.....you made your turbo look like a stock ac compressor! sweet!

 

Looks good! I like it.

HUH?!

What? his running an open element and hows he going to get boost from his AC ? did you think that the cored was an internal wastegate? lol...

 

haha just giving him a hard time. Some big scandal that happend a long time ago that I just thought about and made me laugh. Looks good though irocbirdbuilder......but no Im not gonna ever drop your whole V6 turbo thing.

 

Oh yea i know it. New guys are all liek what the hell?

Your ride looks the same as mine how talls that hood cowl?

 

3" (i believe) Harwood. I wanted the SS hood, but the wait was horrible, the harwood got there in a few days. I like it though. Working on redoing my interior (switching to black) and putting vette brakes in front (got the hubs and brackets through UPS a few days ago).

 

looking good

 

How did you go about painting the metal connected to the nose where the hood latch is. Did you sand it then paint with spray paint? would love to paint that part of my car.
