I finally wrapped the starter wire, repositioned the coil pack (cleaner look), and move the Caddy's plenum cover over (reduce the gap between the valve cover).

This is a minor enhancement, but the color matched Truelo intake and new valve covers really helped the look of the engine bay.

Converted to DIS, with color-matched ignition wires.





I wish the fittings for the fuel pressure gauge came in other colors. That bright blue sticks out like a sore thumb.

I know you can get them in at least plain aluminum. I'm pretty sure you can get them in a multitude of other colors as well.

The 350Z glass tends to tone it down a bit and the pics were during the evening hours. I finally got around to placing all of the screens inside. I think the combination of chromed aluminum and polished mesh screen really pulled this concept idea off. The projected really drained me mentally, but it was worth in the end. Besides, it cost me a whole lot less vs. dropping the engine to have parts chromed and painting the engine bay. One thing is for sure, I learned a lot and if I were to do another one I'll make it better than this one. Granted, a chromed LS7 would look sweeter.




No glass pics:





I'm missing a few screws, so everything isn't fastened down, but you get the general idea.

That being said... not that is runs, you all have insired me to get back on it and make to pretty finally! LOL!

It gets my vote for the most Blinged-out Fiero engine bay. Harley guys probably start drooling at the sight of it(I love chrome too).

I bet the glare on a sunny day keeps you from seeing out the rear.
