Engine Bay Needs More Bling - Ideas Please!

[nolimits76]

Good info thanks! I did not realize that is the Hellcat logo. I found it on a tattoo site! Lol

No prob. By the way, I was mistaken on the logo. Here is the Hellcat logo. Regardless, I wouldn't use the logo -- I think it looks too much like the Hellcat and would be taken as that.

Oh ok, so I should cancel my order for this? j/k

 

[nolimits76]

Nah, but you should go ahead and buy the Procharger and become a serious bad ass!

 

[DavidRam]

Haha! Ok cool! Honestly, before I get a Procharger and all the work and cost involved, I would get the Challenger Hellcat.

Here is what I already have on order:
- 3gCustomz engine half covers with logo cutout
- Billet Tech full set of caps, fuse box cover, tb cover & hood prop covers
- Ebay 97 Wrangler ECM cover


The things I don't know what to do with:

- Electrical wiring? Cover/wrap it?

- Rubber hoses?

- Power steeting & brake fluid Tupperware containers?

- Battery? What's up with that lunch-bag-looking cover? Is there a nice hardcover for it?

- Those with VaraRams. What have you done with the passenger side of the engine bay? I wish I had the balls to move my batter over there...
Or find something cool and unusual to do with it. How about a fish tank?! Or a jack-in-the-box that pops out when someone opens the hood! j/k Lmao!

Thanks in advance for your brilliant ideas!

This is what I have done.

Whoa! That's really nice. Great ideas, thanks! I have to add some lighting under my hood, too.

I don't have any plans for lighting yet...

@DavidRam,
duplicolor makes a great carbon fiber rattle can kit that might work out for you

Killerglass? Do you know what the part number is? I don't see anything for the 5.7 Rams on their site?

Looks awesome!

 

[DavidRam]

^^^ Yes please

I emailed them and asked for pictures of the one they had for the 5.7 Ram and it was not centered on the fan shroud. It sat left and there was a bend in it as it turned back toward the water neck. I asked them to make a 20" straight one to achieve the look I wanted. I attached the pic they sent me of the one they have for our trucks. I just didn't want the offset look. I liked it more centered.

They didn't have it on their site when I looked so that's why I contacted them.

If they can do custom ones, I am gonna have to see what I can do with this Killer Glass stuff. The VaraRam would hide some of it...

You would probably do well with the one they have designed for the 5.7 since the side you see would be the left side if you're standing in front looking at the engine bay. The vararam would cover a little but the turn towards the water next would be visible.

I have gotten more compliments on that than anything. I think because it's way different. Then when I hit the button and turn the lights on I really get oohs and ahhs. It looks like lave tuning through the engine. Haha.

I kept the blue lights in the S&B CAI because I'm going for a "fire & ice" type of theme. I usually set these little guys out in the engine compartment when at a show. These coupled with the red and blue lights really drive home the image I'm trying to create. Haha.

Do any of the bends on the tube show on the sides of the Vararam? Maybe a custom 2 piece of some kind?

Wonder if they can do amber led's?..... And if I could find amber coloured coolant....

You can do two piece and they have different colored lights. I didn't use their lights though. They're kind of cheesy. I ended up fabbing a channel bracket to go under the tube so that I could slide 20" LED strip under the tube.

Very cool man! I like the two colors.

I need to take a better look under the hood, but I think it would have to be a 2 piece right and left of the VaraRam. OR reroute the coolant hoses a little to show it off more...

I don't remember the color charts, but between a light color and the coolant color combination, you should be able to amke an amber glow.

Agreed. The mopar coolant is already Amber. You just need amber lights.
