Or some custom paint work on the plastic cover pieces under the hood probably to match your car color...

Start by keeping it clean. A wet towel and a small brush. maybe a little of WD40. But never spray water on it...

Will like to have a gray engine cover.

Why not? I hose down my engine and then use degreaser once I've capped off all the electricals.

You will never want to know what will happen if a drop of water or humidity fall where is not suppose.
Your motor looks super but don't steal chances to life.

I keep mine rubbing only a wet towel and dry it up. Humidy may cause lots of problems like car won't start at the least. Intermitent failures is a big head ake.
