Underhood mods

My current look underhood.

First to be installed were the hood struts of course then the Mopar CAI .... lately I've been getting into color-matching some stuff so I've obtained and painted strut covers, painted the fuse box cover, radiator covers, and the plastic rivets holding the front facia on (not pictured), installed an underood light, got some Reflective Concepts decals, and last but not least, got some Billet Tech jewelry including an oil catch can.







This is a chop of what I'm looking to do very soon (orange carbon fiber engine cover):





And this is how it looked stock:

Nice job!

Thank you !

Update:

I painted the black plastic screws/rivets to blend-in (it was lightly snowing when I took the pics so excuse the snow flakes flying through the picture LOL)



And I finally got around to taking a pic of my catch can installed with the engine cover OFF ... I have the hoses routed a little differently than what I've seen most people do, but I wanted to be easily able to put the engine cover back on without pinching either one of the new catch can hoses, and this way I also have no interference issues between the hoses and the cover studs.
According to the Billet Technology instructions, the catch can can be installed with either end being an inlet or outlet, so the inlet on mine is on the right.

Well, the purchase of the orange carbon fiber engine cover fell through, so I ordered a stock engine cover off eBay for my own painting project ... colors and design are still to be 100% determined.

Meanwhile, I did end up painting the CAI shield yesterday and this is the first installed shot (better pics should be up by tonight):
