Re: Cheap/Easy ways to make engine bay look better?

There are a lot of things that can be done on the cheap as others have mentioned, Small things go a long way in overall appearance.

Re-loom your under hood wire harness, Replace rusty or oversized hose clamps with the proper size. Clean/paint rusty screws and nuts, Rattle can anything that looks bad, Use news paper and masking tape to reduce over spray.

A nice clean/detailed engine bay can look just as good without a bunch of money or chrome bling, Add the bling after everything else is done.

When I judge shows 50% of my vote is based on the engine bay, That's where one's creativity out shines fancy wheels/tires and paint.


On Edit;

You have a camera, Take many pics of things before you take them off or apart for detailing....
