Not really. Bling costs $$ cha-ching. Even the small chrome or stainless steel covers for fuse box, power steering, washer fluid, blah, blah, blah, all cost $20 or more a pop. Same thing for the interioir also. Of course stuff like Coil Covers, Canton Overflow Tank, Valve Covers, all cost $175-$275. The small stuff nickel and dimes you to death and the bigger bling stuff costs as much as a performance mod. I've probably spent $1,000 on eye candy. It looks really good. I pretty much quit on the performance mod route because everything that's left for me is big ticket items. (Cams, LT's,). I'm pretty happy with 300 at the rears. I think I have a fairly even balance of looks and power. I need rims, but that's another big ticket item.

Replace the plastic radiator cover, that will make a big diff in the look.

If your gonna buy the radiator cover, you HAVE to buy the Canton Overflow Tank. ($169 from Holcomb Motorsport) They compliment each other very well.

i have the canton tank but have been debating on the rad cover....most of my billet is brushed and all the rad covers i've seen are polished...seen any brushed alum versions...i'm trying to dress up without too much bling. And i agree bling is expensive....i have atleast 1K in billet aluminum inside and under the hood.

I know of a guy that actually has a brushed aluminum radiator cover. I don't know where he got it, but if nobody posts an answer where to find one, I'll E-mail him and ask him where he got his. I guess obviously UPR does'nt sell it?

That's why I went for the authentic FR500s as opposed to the slightly cheaper knock-offs. It's the little things...
