Need help/advice/tips on engine dress up
 
I have a big car show coming up soon and i'd really like to dress up my engine bay. What's some good cheap mods? I plan on painting the strut bar, and that's all I can think of. All I have done that's visible is blue cobb intake hoses.

Are Dressupbolts even around anymore? Would be nice to get a set, but haven't seen much activity out of them recently...

Thanks guys.. I think I'm gonna get the dress up bolts, some hoses and paint the engine cover. What color should I do the engine cover, blue or red? I don't want there to be too much blue.

One thing i like is the stickers of the companies of the mods you have on the underside of the hood, in a neat column. Also, you never go wrong with the classic gold on blue for the dress up bits. ^^

If you get the bolts, let us know how many and where they fit. I've heard a number of people talk about them, but never seen a photo of where they can actually go.

Radiator hoses, follow the DIY for color match your engine cover, Z1 hoses for sure

Sickspeed has bolts for our cars

I ordered some but they aren't here yet so no pics on my car to show
