Would help if it had some chrome to go with the red. It just looks kind of stuck in there and blah the way it is. Good start though.

Hey, adding a little color never hurts anything. BTW Monte SS = one of the meanest looking cars GM ever made IMO.

I think GNs look meaner.

As far as the engine compartment, it does need a little more than just some colored accents. But you said that's on the way, so....

krylon mods were never my thing, but I spose if you augment it with some chrome or aluminum it could start to come together.

I don't care for it. Its just to bright in an otherwise dull engine compartment. What i did when i was building my motor was i painted the block chevy orange, had my intake powdercoated, same with valve covers and cleaned out my engine.(removed emmisions and other non-power parts) I post an example when my car gets back from gettting painted.
