| I can not see by the oil tube side but to me you replaced the original factory piece with a piece of stainless tubing and some new silicon boots. Personally I think you are bringing more attention to his area and there is nothing of great value there to look at. I think chrome needs contrast which what you are idea was on your intake plenum. The plenum looks like it was polished and not chromed and it looks like it is already starting to dull. So my points are
1. Chrome the plenum then accent paint it.
2. The stainless steel lines to me are getting lost in detail for some reason I really like the new start-lite hose (or anything similar), it is lighter and wont scratch everything up, and bring a new dimension of detail.
3. Take a look at your engine bay say 2 feet from the bumper and then look at 10 feet and then 20 feet. Everyplace where you loose details that means you have too much chrome, accent it.
4. If you are use the stainless line because it is teflon lined and you are concerned about fuel smell I understand. The fuel pressure regulator mount can be redone. I am not sure I see any need to use twin return from the FPR. So my point is remake the neck off the cam cover to come out straight. Replace the return with a single -6 or -8 or put your y-adapter someplace else where it is not in the line sight. You may have to remake your fan shroud a little bit.
Ok lets get onto the fan shroud it has some design flaws one it really acting like a cover more than a shroud .
It should look something like this.

So can actually get more air flow thru it. It will push back your assembly a few inches but at least you will be able to pull air thru the entire radiator. And also hide the fins of the radiator and once you finished chroming or polishing it would look great.
I don't really like the look of the top feed rails I am thinking some kind of center cove would be nice just not sure if there is enough space for it.
