Nice work! I'm going to steal some of these ideas whenever I finally get my C7. Funny in the pictures it almost looks like you have shag carpet mats.
Ok, so I finally finished all that I'm gonna do in the engine bay with Don's RPI stuff - the first pic is the gloss plenum (not interested in more CF) and it looks "serious", IMO...LOL

The second is adding the really glossy rails done in the color of my car with red accents...a HUGE diff from the stock ones above...
Both of these alcohol wiped and then treated with Dodo "tropical red mist" wipe on seal - made for hi temps...

I like it, don't like how the stock engine looks. Will do the same but most likely in the color of my car for example I'll do red for my red C7, etc.
Looks great! Leaves not so much.
Whatever happen to racing gloves.Or,
