Powder coat everything you can!!!

 

I say a polished ffim or your na-t manifold with q45 tb. I'm actually building one right now for my na-t. Let me know if you're interested. It's about 600 bucks parts and labor. About half of a hyper tune

 

nothing wrong with a little color. OP if you're particular to blue, do something like this...



It's not over the top, and still warrants being considered 'clean'. Not necessarily having to shave the engine bay but a couple of painted pieces would be nice.

 

Now that looks awesome man!!!

I say polish anything you can. Polished products usually mean clean look, IMO.

 

We can't really start dressing up our engine bays until we go with a FFIM. Then we can change the valve cover, reroute some lines, and clean it up that way. I think I will be going with a chrome FFIM, carbon valve cover, and then get the intercooler pipes redone in a wrinkle black, so they appear hidden.

 

Have to replace radiator shroud and overflow tank. Was thinking about replacing hoses since I'd have them off with maybe the blue samco ones like these.

^^^^ my old setup picture

 

heres a crappy cell phone pic of hoe going black couplers look and a ffmi

 

Ge intake is the killer for me. Blue hoses will not look right. Your engine bay is one of the best i have see with a GE factory manifold. You can always paint the shroud and fuse box cover gloss black, aluminum radiator will also add a nice touch. You can look trough my build thread pics if you want to see a painted shroud and fuse box cover.

 

I think I'm just going to leave it be for now. New shroud and overflow tank will be here next week so that will keep me busy for a little while.

Color panels and hoses are not a good look.

 

keep your vac lines going blue is to flashy unless your on a budget or your engine is dull which it really isnt. you should polish a few more things and thats pretty much it

 

Simple

 

Now thats just plain clean!!!

 

I think it looks great as is.
