It would look absolutely amazing. Black anodized aluminum is even better, especially in a white car so clean you could perform surgery on it:
I always wondered what everything under the e-bay would look like powder coated black. That is something I would like to do with my next project car, if I ever get around to it. I think it would look pretty sharp!

What's added? The ASP unit replaces the AC compressor with a nice polished aluminum idler. The FMS set up moves the ugly power steering pump right up top using a complicated bracket system that requires a new belt and routing.
Dammit 85SS beat me to it. Best engine bay look ever, by far.
I'm partial to mine cause it opens up the top of the engine keeping the accessories low.
It's the trickflow kit and just moves the tensioner for like $30. Works awesome.
Bad pic of the actual "kit" tho.
That's my point. Why add a useless ilder pulley when you can just put a new bracket on and pivolt the PS pump up a little bit and call it a day??
I don't recall who posted the pics, i think it was from a car show. It only works because it's anodized and powdercoated and the engine bay is so clean and wire-free. You can't just whip out the Rustoleum and go crazy and expect anything even slightly close to that. Also the more you look at it the more you pick out things that actually aren't black that help to break it up and keep it from being a big blob, like the heads are still bare, as is the radiator/overflow, fuel rails, master cylinder...etc.
I agree, dupliacting that white engine bay would take a LOT of time.
While it might not take as long vs. polishing everything, it wouldn't be simple at all. Well, not quick and easy anyway. Simple is relative
Polishing everything takes a long time, but welding up any engine bay really isn't very easy. If you like easy metal for days, more power to you. The reason that e-bay seems like it would be harder is because it is white and you can see everything. They are all the same to me, but I guess a lot of it depends on the quality of work you OK with looking at everyday. It took a year for me to do mine, so you can't pull any wool over my eyes.

Ask the other guys who have engines like mine. When there's no dust and grime and crap to fly around while you drive, nothing ends up anywhere. BlownFox5Oh was next to me at FFW, he could tell ya
