I moved this to a better area for this topic. There is a sticky up top that shows several engine bays, check it out for ideas.

Ok you ask for it...I love horing these pictures out

The valve covers are sanded and polished, the coils are painted and the intake is also painted to match the car color:

Let me know how we can help. We offer a variety of underhood dress up items such as cover kits, underhood mirrors, headplates, engine plauqes and Fuel Rail cover lettering options. Here are few pointers for the "awe factor:"

Powdercoat/paint anything you can (air/deck lid,coil packs/bracket, intake, valve covers, pulleys/brackets, latches)
Match you screw heads to whatever they're anchoring (i painted my manifold black, so i painted the screws black too, get it?).
Polish a/c and brake lines
Billet caps

I notice "more than a few" of emblempros.com items in that engine bay. The entire bay looks very nice. Very good detail.

As clean as your car is, I would of never thought that the TA was DD. But your very right, it's alot easier to keep clean once you ahve something else....

Thats why I have my DD, its a 1988 town car...not purty but it has heat
