Where can I find engine bay dress up parts ?

Hi all,

Like the title said, where can I get the engine bay dress up parts for FD ie, carbon fiber, polished aluminium pieces..etc.

I've been out of the FD scene for a while and I can't seem to find any parts anymore. Are there any other stores other than the sponsers ?

There are not alot of off the shelf options for this. I have seen carbon UIM covers on ebay. Some guys polish the UIM, LIM, and everything else they can think of under the hood, others use ceramic coating that gives a slightly duller finish but much more durable. Pulleys are offered in a variety of flavors, from ebay to high end REA kits. Some of the forum vendors can point you in the right direction. You can also use a plate to cover the top of the radiator and hood latch. A few companies made these but are hard to find now. Charlies7 ,a forum member, makes coil relocation brackets that could be considered a dress up item. Adhesive backed heat shields can also be used to dress up the engine compartment. Do a search for thermal protection and you can find some neat examples of this.
If all else fails go through the hundreds of pics in the FD forum and start PM'ing members on how they did something that catches your eye.
Good luck

Polished plate to cover the top of the raidator is exactly what I'm looking for. I remember Greddy making them before but couldnt find it anywhere. All the other components in my engine bay are already poslished (turbo, UIM, elbow...etc).

My next step is to look at other members pictures and PM them as you said
