Default Engine dressup

I was wondering what else to do to throw off my motor as far as looks. I already have a dress up kit and CAI crome that help, but was wondering what else I could do. I can't find cheap oil caps any where except from Modern Performance and am at a loss for what else to do so I would appreciate any suggestions.

You could do a Valve cover to match the color of your car, which looks to be blue. You can replace your radiator hoses with colored silicon ones. An oil cap wouldn't look bad in there. Be sure to give your engine bay a good spray and scrub to keep it looking nice.

Howell Automotive sells powder coated valve covers. Would look pretty sick under the hood

strut bar, optima battery, paint the cover of the fuse box... Instead of putting the dress up **** over your plug wires, you should have just gotten blue plug wires, like from Magstar or Accel.

Do those valve covers come with the pvc valve threaded hole on the left side. Like my 2000 has.
