Your car is black right? I'd go with gold if you want flashy/shiny. Whereas silver is more of a tribute to classics in reference to chrome

So with work interviews, waiting on parts, and a few other life activities. Over the last 7 days or so I've been a little busy on the car.
Finished Wire Tuck but don't have pics of the driver/passenger side finished and of course found a few issues from the previous owner/mechanic whoever worked on this car before me. Headlight is missing the back cap. Also see that 3 cylinders have been running really rich at some point in the cars life, but the other 3 look great, a little concerning.
Before my work started last week
How she looks now
Great reason for a catch can now
Anyone have ideas, I can't see this being current. My fuel trims are even on both banks now. I've only had the car 8 weeks now
Valve Cover gaskets were shot on both sides. Leaking bad enough smoke was coming off the exhaust so if I'm doing a wire tuck and valve cover gaskets might as well clean and paint the valve covers
They look good, its a shame so much covers the valve covers, I wished our intake were more Ford or Chevy looking
The vacuum hose end attached to plenum is glued on, so no way it was coming off without cutting it. Anyone know a good replacement option that isn't so long and squiggly. Like a single straight piece with a bend in it. Not sure if its a 5/8 or not. Hoping someone can chime in please
Shot of the passenger side. Honestly it was harder to do than the main engine harness. All those damn zipties from the factory are really tied and its just tedious work. Its all worth it now. I definitely am glad its all over
I got pissed when I saw this was missing.
List of what I did
Valve Cover Gaskets
Throttle Body replacement
Painted Valve Covers
Painted Upper Plenum
Painted Timing Cover
Cleaned upper and lower plenum well, it was needed
Installed new PCV
Engine Wire Tuck
Passenger and Driver side Wire Tuck
Cleaned everything I could reach on engine
Solo man hours, I couldn't even tell you. About 4-5 days total of full work taking my time, cleaning, researching, etc.
