You should powdercoat or paint the valve covers yellow to finish it up. I like the plenum cover.

I'm more of a fan of the clean, less is more, look. But it doesn't look bad to me, and if you like it, that's what matters.

Some nice engine bays in here, makes mine look really messy...

Only thing I've done is paint an engine cover: Previous owner of the cover had plasti-dipped it so took me a few days to peel all that stuff off. The pony had been painted as well so I had to be careful not to scratch it as I took the paint off. I lightly scraped the pony with sandpaper to give it a brushed look (since there were some noticeable marks on there). The black I used is spray-on truck bed liner that I had lying around (gives it a cool, textured look and feel) and then I sprayed the center with some white enamel that was I had left over from another project.

Upcoming plans are to paint the radiator cover the same textured black and use some quarter turn fasteners in place of the factory plastic (which are mostly missing anyways).
