agree with nike. degreaser will suprise you. seriously

Try silicon tubing and wire covers. Cheap and adds a nice touch if you have a good color scheme. Paint valve cover, and if your going to leave the stock header cover on , then paint that also. That's one thing i'm workin on.

here's my friends eg coupe to give you an idea, imo id leave it stock looking outside and build up the inside, it's what you can't see that matters ;)

Thay bay is gross. Red, Yellow, and gold with rusty looking shock towers?

Word.

i do like the battery cover tho, where can i get one of those, nevr seen one before but looks nice, i have a sh!t ton of corrosion and wires on mine lol, i need to get rid of that corrosion soon

Well i chromed out my valve cover by hand and got some NGK wires as well as paint my air intake pipe I think it went from bland to good it didnt cost much just time
