Looks fine to me...just a little "busy" as you put it and a bit crowded. Other than that I don't think it's ricey at all.

I think it looks good..adds a bit under the hood. I would just think that the front top piece that has the 350Z on it looks better in CF and think it would add to the grey and Red and set it off a bit more......Nice..Keep up the clean work...

usually engines that look "busy" are either one of two things. They look busy with actual modifications.........or, with colored tubing and plastic.....i personally dont like the "dress-up kits" i do however like the colors of the parts to be the same, i just think it looks nice. Like all polished / silver stuff looks really nice. I think if an engine is done tastefully "dress-up" wise, then it can look really nice. But most kids just over-do it.

OK, well here is what he has done for those that cant see too well:
Painted engine cover, battery/brakefluid covers, and cooling plate in silverstone with red lettering Polished his manifold Red Grounding kit Put Nismo sticker on stock strut brace Got Red Anodized lug covers and put them on EVERYTHING It just looks way too busy to me, too many colors standing out in all the wrong ways, but thats just my opinion.
