What can I do to dress up the engine bay better?



Nitrous might be coming out of it, not sure yet.

I can't tell from that pic but have you done the passenger side wire mod? How about a nice billet power steering pulley?

Battery cover, AC cover, head plate, maybe coil pack relocation or FRCs

Was going to but changed my mind. Good thing I did too. I had an incident where I stuffed the wheel up into the well. It would have wiped out my entire harness. I am working on a cover for them though. I have a fiberglass mold I made 2 years ago.. just havent finished it yet...lol

Steve's (toofazt) covers and bolt kit will add a nice touch.

polish your ac. you need to come up with a color scheme, reds and silvers or greys look good with black. brushed aluminum or stainless looks good as well. if you ever decide to get rid of your nitrous set up let me know i might be interested.

honestly, i prefer a black lid over clear since the clear lid doesnt match the lower part of the intake and the visible filter adds complication under the hood.

whats with that breather? maybe im missing something, but that adds complication to the engine bay, and id pull the A.I.R. system. I dont see all of the tubing for it, but i see the small filter off to the side of the intake, which adds even more complication.

oh and can you relocate the NX components? if so, maybe make them out of site, or put them all together on a custom bracket. you seem to have too many scattered components and wires from that system.

heres mine without the STB installed:
