show your engine bays
theres tons of these threads if ya do a search...but heres what i have.
when the original owner had the car before i got it....
and now...
since then, ive painted the back of my headlights, consolidated some wires togethers, got rid of my MAF for a SD tune, and also done the whistler headlight mod.
battery relocated to trunk, fuse boxes moved where AIR pump was, covers made from lexan. everything else is pretty much straight forward. all nuts/bolts/washers are stainless, all wiring is relocated that could be, all holes filled and shaved, and everything repainted obviously. also made the coil relocation kit myself, and did all the work in my garage at home including the paint.

i did it myself. 2 summers ago i did it with the engine in the car, just taped everything up well. if you arent doing a color change, then you can do this with the motor in the car just fine. my motor blew this past summer so i reprayed everything and filled/shaved the holes while the car was down, and now all the spots are hit well and it looks better. it was done with single stage paint with a gun. i used single stage so touch ups would be super easy if i need to.
wow there has been some timw spent under some hoods. they all look great i need to do a little tlc to mine. in the process of a tranny swap to an a4 so it will be down for a bit, so might have the time to do some of the mods.

here's some cell phone pics of mine as it sits now, not much to look at really, but there's a lot of work there. AC delete, shaved holes on both fenders, painted to match the car's exterior. bolts got painted over, but are going to be replaced with stainless pieces.
here are some "before" pictures. it won't look much like this again when i'm done. mods shown here are painted intake, !wire mod, ECM cover, chrome-ceramic coated valve covers, and my homemade coil relocation brackets are the major mods..

cables from a non-cruise-equipped car will work. if you also have traction control, you can relocate your ASR module and cables up by the ECM, under the wiper cowl. the stock cables still reach the TB and takes the clutter off the engine.
thanks the car did have traction control but i will prob get rid of it all and just use a single cable
