New Engine Bay Pics!(Chrome Parts Lil Bling, Bling)

I bought the Evolution-AutoDesign Chrome Engine Dress-Up Kit, the SouthWest AutoWorks Billet Battery Tie-Down, a Cool-Flex type chrome radiator hose and I sent some pieces to Jason (aka-thebigsadler) to get chromed(I would like to say thank you again Jason you da man! like you said the pieces came out mint)

I made some mirrors out of some mirror repair kits I bought from Advance Auto Parts I just cut them out an put two pieces on my hood liner the two open spots on the hood.

it the top engine picture, to the far right, there is a chromed piece right by the fender. it has bubbles in it, and looks like aluminum/tin foil... kinda funky. besides that, the engine bay is looking good

Personal preference for ME, Will, would be the Ionic Dynamics cover. But I don't think either one would set you back in the 'cool points' section.
