Hey everyone. This year I am looking to dress up my engine some and maybe do a few mods. It is stock now.
I am not looking into spending a bunch of money, I am a college student and working as a server for a job, so I don't have a lot of money to spend.
Do you all have any suggestions? I want to concentrate on making it clean and getting some color in it.
Also, if you all have pics of your engine, post them up. I want to start getting some ideas now so I know what I want to do this spring and how much to save up for it.

Well to make the Engine area look nicers you can add a Chrome Cold Air intake, Polish the upper intake, add a Strut tower brace. I would stay away from colored hoses, i think they take the look away. Also you can get some parts powder coated, valve covers the brace. and so on.

on ebay there are some chrome parts that may or may not fit, but link us to a part and we'll let you know. www.summitracing.com is a good site to find parts as well. i've seen an overflow resevoir for 30 bucks on ebay that definitely does fit, strut tower covers, strut tower braces (chrome/polished), wires, even a polished intake manifold that looked awesome. a mac cold air kit is chrome and it'll make it look a lot nicer as well. what year stang do you have?

believe it or not a clean engine and some powdercoated valve covers really make a engine bay come alive
