Got a little Bored

I've always thought there is too much black plastic in most modern engine compartments today. In the late 60's through the 80's they had engines that when dressed up you could make sparkle and quicken the pulse of any car buff. Today, well not so much. So I had a little time and tried something different. I hope you guys like the results. Let me know. Either way I like it.

Cool! I might try this but I'll match the body color, in my case K51.

Thanks for the positive comments. I wanted the yellow because it's very bold and wanted it to really stand out when any shop mechanic might be working on the car. He hopefully will realize that I take engine care seriously. The engine bay is clean because after every car wash (roughly 2 weeks) I also get into the engine bay with a damp cloth and go through most areas. Nothing excessive, just the obvious. The car only has 13,000 miles on her.

As far as continuing with more enhancements to the bay, I'm open to suggestions. I don't want to go too ricer on this but again suggestions are welcomed. I also have some painting and masking tips if anyone wants to ask. Masking that Infiniti emblem was very time consuming.
