Anyone I've seen w/ nice looking bays have had powder-coating / painting done and just used hose wraps for wiring and hoses.

Like this?I used the billet end-caps from a universal stainless-steel braided hose cover kit. I didn't want to use the actual SS hoses.

Quote, originally posted by Dezz1 »I've seen vibers with the INGIN chrome dress up engine bay kit. Very Very Nice. That would be TritonGT - don't know where he's gone or how he's doing That Injen spark plug cover is definitely sweet. He got in on that w/ the blue Injen CAI before they were both discontinued. I wanted the CAI, but got around to it after it was gone, so I had to go AEM. Now I'm regretting it, b/c I will soon need something that's both blue AND C.A.R.B. approved for the Vibe (AEM is only approved for the Matrix).

Yeah, what ever happened to Triton. I believe he won the first VOTM, and held the highest rating on Car Domain's Vibe Section. Did he sell it or something?
