Engine bay accenting
I know I will be flamed for this by all the people who say "If it doesnt make your car go faster it's rice"...I dont care
. I think the yellow caps on the coolent, power steering, washer fluid etc. WERE ABSOLUTELY UGLY. I hated them and decided to paint them a color tha matched my short ram intake. So I went ahead and drove down to GI Joes and bought some "metal cast" or fake metal looking paint. I had a few problems with the plastic not accepting the paint but once I sanded them a little bit it went great. I also did the electronic cover on the passenger side and the pulley/alternator cover(dont know what its called) It looks good I think. I know this doesnt add horsepower, so some will criticize but I really didnt like that yellow plastic look. Tell me your opinions.:banana:

I'd say it looks good. I would say this isn't rice because you didn't spend tons on money on something totally worthless.
Well, maybe it's a little rice, but I think it still looks good.

I dont think there is anything wrong in making your car look better. Its yours and you do what you want to. Don't let others tell you its 'lame' or 'rice'. If you like it, do it, its not their car
