A dremel, some polishing compound. Polish the A/C can and the brake lines going to the master cylinder/ABS module. Paint the valve covers, MAF, and TB with some Krylon, blue painter's tape and then clear it with some more Krylon. Do the wire mod on the Left side wiring.

any autoparts store carries wire loom
autozone carries a variety of colors.
but IMO, black is the only color that should be used.
Attract attention to the engine, rather than the looms of wiring throughout the car...

I think body colour is the way to go. I tried the blue wire loom thing. Gets old fast. I ripped it out and went back to black.

You can also get black from Harbor Freight. I bought a few bags along with other junk. Not bad.

... and do a search for "wrap"; as in wire wrap.
