LOL!
I think the engine bay should look as good as the outside... Afterall, there's a reason why we clean and polish that sheet metal!!?

Just to let ya know they are a pain to put on, have to stretch them pretty good. Might help to heat them up before install.

took me almost 3 hours a case of beer and help from a buddy to get the right side on. I think maybe I just got a size that was a bit off..
the left one slipped right on after heating, but the right one...Boiled for almost 30 mins, tried heat gun,eventually just muscled it on. wear gloves I wish I had.
