Yeah, but he just got his GS not long ago and is just getting started with mods (he has about 20 boxes of stuff waiting in his basement to bolt on!).

The special thing to look at on his engine is that clean center. I think it's a cool idea and give him props for coming up with/doing it.

I've got all the stuff you listed on yours, but I like it looking mostly the way the vendor provided it (optima and TRD/Tom's caps are still in the garage and need to be installed/put on).

I'm not much into chroming everything, prefer the painted or alloy silver look. Chrome also stores more heat (more or less depending on how it is applied), which is something I don't want on cold air pieces of my intake or cold air box.

I think the two best engine bays I've seen on CL are Dex's and Mean Gean's. Very clean, nice color matching.

20 boxes of stuff will definately change a few things...

Like a kid with a bunch of new toys!
