Count me in on the factory painted look with the original air cleaner.
Personally if I see one more underhood chrome accessory, chrome valve cover or $6 chrome air cleaner I think I'm going to poop my pants.....lol
Seriously tho, custom and customization to me is what is
not on most peoples vehicle so, in my humble opinion...what is more custom these days is a hot motor disguised as an original appearing motor.
Here is a really great example of a smokin' motor (LS3) disguised somewhat as a stock big block motor....on the Holley Shop Truck, a '67 chevy short box

Its always good to be ahead of the curve on this and the guys from Holley carbs appear to be getting there....
Anywhooo, just my two bits!....great looking engine bay either way tho'!
all Good
