Default engine bay and wheels finally match

EVERYONE (and their mother) seems to do a red themed engine bay as mine was previously, so i had to change it to something not so common. Meet Gold Member.

Wow, I never would have though that would look as good as it does, almost a work of art. I wonder if something like this would work...

If there had been no picture I would have thought no way but that looks good, very good. If the wheels match it then I am a bit dubious of them.
Tip
Polish up the heater valves and straighten the tops of the heat shield.

That looks great. I like it.
I assume many go with red because it lends itself to the srt line color. Red is the signature color.
The gold looks great. Nicely done.

Better yet, stainless steel tape and some gold metallic paint on the heater valves, and some sign edge vinyl on the heat shields :

I'm liking the gold in the engine bay, not so much on the wheels for some reason. And I like gold wheels on a black car. Perhaps it's the wheels more than the color. Props to you on the first class work.

That would work perfect here in Steeler Country.

You know, I just finished installing the sign edge vinyl, (A link you posted for Amazon). Gotta say, that makes a "very" nice difference, plus it makes working under the hood a little less hazardous.

Thank you!

Got to admit, while I was waiting for the pic to open up I wasn't sure I would like the gold, but it looks great!

Wish I would have thought to paint my valve covers (any color) when I had them off and cleaned a few months back...
