Im trying to find some ways of enhancing the way my car looks but not with an audio system. Most of what I have found in this forum seems to be body kits and audio.

Im trying to find things like engine bay dressup and modifications to make my lighting in my car better, etc etc. What else is out there?

PS: yay my first post!

What car/engine is it??

There are people on here who have polished/re-finished rocker covers, inlet manifolds, etc.
There is a possible group buy on silicone hoses coming up from someone on here i think too!

As for lighting - not too sure about interior but outside, people have various different headlights - angel eyes, smoked, hid and so on - clear or tinted side repeaters and indicator lenses, all red/tinted rear clusters etc.

Best bet is to do a few searches for older posts!!

I'm sure people who have done these bit's will be along soon enough to help you out!!

BTW, welcome!! Let's see some pics of your ride!!

Im currently at work so ill post up a few pics when I get a bit more time. I have the painted valve cover (I guess we call it that in the US? rocker cover is a UK term?). Im trying to find some silicone hoses but also some colored ones for things like fuel lines. I wanted to color coat my hoses in my car to make it easy to spot what is what. Like red for fuel, blue for air, black for electical was a thought.

I was also thinking of doing a switch for lighting under the hood for those times when my car breaks down at night and I need to see whats going on. The worry about that is heat. Since my car is darker colors now, I was thinking of smoking but Ive found plenty of tutorials on that, I just need to pick one and stop being lazy. I also think angel eyes are out of my price range.

Thanks for the input. Ill post up an all about me post as soon as I can.

Dont worry I'm from South Africa and we call them Tappet Covers 8) I think there are some guys on here that have done the angel eyes themselves and there were some seriously cool pics of 2 E30's the other day.
