How can I make my engine look like this:

The pretty obvious answer would be:

Time
Money
Elbow Grease
Polishing
Painting
Powdercoating
Aftermarket Parts
New Silicone Hoses
A Good Photographer

What does your engine bay look like now? Most are a lonnnng way from ever looking like that one.

If I told you trash would you believe me?

^yes. Thats how most are. Lol
But on a serious note, it really doesn't look to unachievable. Only mods seem to be HKS BOV, intercooler, strut bar, and a lot of silicon hoses. The rest looks like pure cosmetic stuff. I'd say in all thats probably about $1000-$1500 away from what I have and I think mines pretty decent for a DD. There may be somethings I'm not see so it could cost more.
