Whoring off some of my engine bay mods :) The day I bought my car, filthy for 47k miles :O
I soon did the wire mod, relocated my tcs and deleted my air system. I also filled in the holes and repaired the surface rust on the passenger side, repainted the fenders, painted my clear lid black, degreased and cleaner the engine bay.
Now I have taken a slight back step by installing a nitrous kit. Its rough right now but I have plans to clean up and get the wires out of sight. I do not mind the hoses however.
My next plan is to hide my hood latch cable, as well as get some FRCs, and fast 92. Tell me what you all think happy to answer any questions.

I like the clean look! I have been wanting to delete my air system as well just dont have the time. Never thought about doing a wire mod and relocating the tcs. Is there a write up on this?

All of the write ups are in this thread. The tcs relation is a pita there really isnt much room behind the PCM where the write up says. I actually couldnt get mine back there so it is actually down under the pcm and hood strut.

Great job filling in the holes after the !WIRE mod! I'd assume have all the wires hanging out in my engine bay than a ton of holes for no good reason.
Surprised you painted the clear lid though....most people love that lid as is/was!

Looks good. I just started on mine. Where did you locate your ground that was on the driver side hump? That's the only thing lacking on my driver side. I would love to fill and paint mine but Som isn't exactly a color that is easy to do and look right.
