Those are just a few ideas!! If you have money and don't want to polish, just chrome it!

Re: Where to start with the engine bay? 1. Hide your ground wires
2. Hide main wire loom
3. remove all stickers
4. clean, clean, clean (get the idea
)
5. paint it, polish it or plate it (the three P's)
6. pick a theme (and accent color) and stick with it
7. have fun with it and remember that its all in the details

Re: Where to start with the engine bay? It is amazing what a little Simple Green, paint, and imagination can accomplish. Just take it a step at a time. Your efforts will add up with time.

Re: Where to start with the engine bay? Once you're done with the simple green, some fuel rail covers hide a lot of the wires on the block. I just finished doing mine last weekend, and I'm currently painting them. It's a definite pita to put on, but it feels pretty good when your results come out clean.
