Dressing up your engine pics!

Has anyone dressed up their engine with paint or chrome? Other than painting your valve cover, buying colored spark plug wires and dist. caps, and adding components that are already painted (i.e. browndog engine mounts).
Has anyone painted their fuel rails, battery fan shrouds, plastic pieces and even engine block?
Please post pics and say what you did and how you did it!!

A guy named Kyles92laredo started a thread in Cherokee Chat the other day and posted this picture of his engine bay. You should ask him

Nah. Form follows function. Especially in a Jeep. I'm usually impressed with cleanliness, not excessive amounts of chrome and painting...wasted effort to me.

But if bathing your engine in red/chrome/purple junk is fun for you to do then, to each his own and +1 for effort!

Pretty impressive. The attention to detail makes this totally BA! Haha, if the color scheme were described to me, I may think ricer, but seeing it- def not ricer! A ricer would have done a sloppy *** job.. This is clean!

Props to whoever put the hours of extra work into painting that

the red one is overkill tho..
