Engine and part color schemes
I've got all of my suspension in red, including my SFCs, springs, wonderbar, LCAs, front swaybar, tranny mount, and bushings. I have a black transmission (with sandblasted bare aluminum servo cover and bare brass fittings), and a black engine block and heads. My harmonic balancer and oil pressure sender is blasted a natural steel color. My intake is aluminum, the natural edelbrock finish. I am thinking about taking my aluminum valve covers (which are polished) and scuffing them in a uniform direction with a scotchbrite to give it a brushed look.
I don't have updated pictures of this but here's my most recent setup.
Give me comments on what you'd like to see or what you recommend, as well as what your own ride has!

i agree get new strut tower caps like the ones that spohn carries in chrome and a new overflow tank. maybe get something to shine your the rubber hoses.

I think clean is better than shiny and pretty. As long as your engine bay is cleaned and neat from the wire rats nests it looks good. About the only thing I can see with yours is the tower caps and the same problem alot of us have the infamous coolant bottle. Otherwise looks good!
