I'm filling in the rest of an underdrive pulley set, and since Unorthodox doesn't make blue ones anymore and the only current dressy parts under my hood are the GReddy blue pulley partial set and BOV from the previous owner I'll be having the new ones anodized to match. I get a pretty sweet batch price and I can throw in as many parts as I want - help me de-uglify my engine bay!

sorry for the low-quality pic of my low-quality engine

 

Anodizing everything makes your engine bay looke like a rice
bowl

 

That's why I'd appreciate some recommendations for tasteful bits and bobs. Hence, this topic.

Well your car is mostly stock, there isn't much you can anodize. Maybe see if they'll anodize the intercooler piping and your stock intake box

 

*Fan relay bracket
*Mounting bracket for the ABS plug
*Hard line/tube for the brake booster. I painted the mounting bracket separately because of the rubber grommet.
*Support bracket for the stock (non-efini) cross-over pipe and pressure chamber.
*Top bracket for cruise control actuator (if equipped)
*I painted the trigger wheel and main pulley as well as the stock PS and tensioner pulley.
*More advanced...many disassemble the alternator and have that polished or powdercoated.

I'm not a fan of anodizing either, but it's your car. I went with powdercoating in a polished aluminum look to cover the "army green" of the OEM coating on the brackets.
