Hey Everyone

I had a question on what parts are the best to paint for under the engine. Right now I have my AEM blue intake with a blue strut bar, blue hosing, spark plug cover and oil caps painted blue.

What else would you guys recommend I paint? If I paint anymore would that be overdoing it? I want my car to be appealing when the car shows come by this summer.

Thanks

Ok, here is a stupid question in regards to the braided hose statement..

There are 2 products out there, that I would like to use to 'clean up' the bay..

1.) 15mm Blue Spiral Wrap - 5 foot length

2.) 1/2" Silver (Chrome) Sleeving per foot

Would these work as a alternative to buying the 'metal' versions? and do you think they would melt?

The hose sleeve kits look horrible. Don't do it.

If you want to spice up your engine bay a bit, get a radiator cap cover and do some blue looming.
