Painted Radiator Hoses
I saw the hoses myself today.. they looked much better than in the pics.. I suggested she replace the stock clamps with some chromed ones to offset the colour and match her small amount of polished parts she has in the engine compartment.

yeah Im gonna take a look for them next time Im in the autoparts store. Im gonna paint the strut tower brackets metalcast purple to match the throttle body, but I gotta wait till I get to Canada to use my friends impact gun to get the damn bolt off. My sh!tty tools wont even make them budge, lol. Im also gonna get some more purple wire loom to replace the black wire loom. Im considering painting the red top to purple. I dont know yet. Anyway thanks for the feedback guys laugh.gif
what else would look great in your engine compartment.. a polished aluminum mount for your optima.. sort of like I have on my battery. Granted, you saw how dirty my engine compartment is, but that mount still looked nice.

Just checked em after driving again today. Still holding up like they were just painted.
What about the altenator? I dont think I will paint it. I saw Napa auto parts makes purple ones but I doubt they make em for my car.
I was thinking about painting the rad fans but Im pretty sure that would be very ricey, lol.
