Where can I find engine compartment pics?

I'm lookin for engine compartment pics. Nice and detailed/show car type stuff. Did a search here but didnt find alot. Doesnt have to be 7's necessarily (would be nice, specially if theyre 1st gens), just looking for ideas. Any links to websites would be helpful.
Thanks

Very Nice Max, as usual. I love the modified plenum.

I REALLY have always loved your cold air intake. I made my
exhaust manifold with the idea of putting in a cold air box like
yours in the future.

Thanks for the pics. Max, did you use engine paint on the intake pipe? My car is gonna end up gunmetal, and Im thinking of polished aluminum on whatever I can polish, and Ford/Mazda blue as the accent color. What do you guys think? Would that be enough color?

Yah, I used engine enamel on the intake pipe, not the greatest but will get me by for now.
I think the less colors the better, that combo should look sweet, Gunmetal and Blue

Yea I found that the engine paints lose their glossy shine after a while in the engine bay. Im gonna clear coat on top to try and keep it nice. I agree, no clownmobile for me. I think that will look nice too, thanks for the input.

As nice as the day it came off the lot.
A bit of work to keep it like that, but well worth it!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's an RX-3.

Here is my engine bay. I'm just test-fitting everything at the moment. The final setup may be a little different than in this picture.
