    gmc and piper would be best bet then
    
    also you cant see it buttt a cam!!! lol
    
    chrome covers look tacky in my opinion, others might not agree but thats my opinion, you want carbon covers lol and just get some samco hosing here and there lol thatsd bout all i can think of

    Ive got a janspeed. Get it heatwrapped as mine is starting to look a little off after 2,000 miles or so. They need regular cleaning to keep them looking decent.
    
    I got mine off ebay.

    Paint your strutbrace blue
    Chrome Battery cover
    Chrome manifold heatshield
    Another piece of blue silicone for the other side of the BMC
    
    Should help it stand out a bit!
