I want to spice up my engine bay a bit. I am going to paint my strut bar and the metal stick that holds up my hood the dark green as seen in my interior pics. What else can I paint/do to make the engine bay look more visually appealing?

Edit: I don't even know if this should be here, interior, or Engine forum lol

Ive used some dupi-color high temp paint with ceramic in it. I painted my exhaust manifold sheild, intake plenum, and spark plug cover on my 3000GT with that stuff about a year ago and its still perfect.

I did it silver so it looks stock but clean... see if this pic works

Nope, link does not work.

imagestation crap...why cant we attach pics in this forum?

eat your own bandwidth >>

thats why everyone is limited with their celica pics in their profile.

I only use it for my sig, so everyone can see.

Paint the intake manifold.

I don't know what that is.

bufferdan check my link for an Ohio meet coming up in June!

Any other suggestions?

to paint either of those you will have some work.

you can paint the stock intake box, although i would make sure no paint get inside, and that you don't run the car for a while after...
make sure to use a paint that sticks to plastic.

some people when spicing up the engine bay just get new hoses and whatnot in a certain color

can get them at autozone i believe

i painted that strut bar in the engine bay but it got messed up so i want to sand it down and repaint, what grit should i use

anything else to do to the bay would help too
