Default Engine Dress up?

Hi all,

I want my engine bay to look more interesting, is there any engine dress up kit out there? CF perhaps? if not, what have you guys done to your engine bays so far (besides intakes)???

In my opinion, i am not supposed to open the hood for at least 70,000 miles why dress it up if i am not going to be looking at it?! :S

It looks nice the way it is... dont ruin the quality by painting it... unless u colour "match" it.

painting the covers will not give me the clean look i am after,,, yea i don't pop the hood too often, but when i do i'd like to have to put on my sunglasses because of all the chrome parts shining on my face and put my jacket on becaus of the cool CF parts here and there

i guess we'll have to wait until such parts are out

70,000 Miles before you look at it? Wow! Everytime i wash mine all doors,trunk,hood are open for final drying and detailing. But my wife says i'm a freak when it comes to cleaning my cars. But, when it comes time to sell it's just like a house that intial curb appeal sells it every time!
