Been doing a lot of work under the hood to clean up the engine bay a bit.

Before:


After:


You'll notice I did one side of the wire mod,


and painted the tower bar pewter to match the intake and the car.



Things I still need to do:
Paint valve covers, I'm thinking gloss black
Coil brackets, gloss black as well
Coil packs, pewter?

Wire mod on the other side (going to finish that up this weekend)

I'm thinking about painting the bumper suppose gloss black, maybe semi-gloss




Here is my lid idea:
I plan on painting it pewter (the top part, leaving the bottom part where it clips in black), and putting a decal with my build number on it right in the center, like this


as always, looking for feedback and suggestions

Really starting to come together. Love the painted intake. How easy was it to move the wires that looks x346 times better.

Looks good . . . you can hide those grounds that are on the fender behind the battery. If you pull out the fender plastic you should be able to see a bolt where they can go.

looks great. may i also suggest hiding the traction control module and the few grounds? as stated, the battery ground can go inside the fender by the turn signal. the ground on the other side can be joined with a ground thats under the fuse panel (fits without any extension), and the ones on the front bumper suppoer can go under the radiator support (top black plastic thing) and get bolted to the outside bolts for it.

thanks. it was pretty easy. finding a drill bit that can handle the job was the tricky part

ill have to check that out, we looked but didn't see anything. what does the bolt connect to?

Just finished my wire mod on monday and i went through one hole saw and had to get another and like many others have said...i dont know why i waited so long to this easy mod
I ended up just drilling another hole to mount the ground cables underneath. Its your car..but IMO ditch the red wire loom..it brings attention to something you are trying to hide or get rid of.

hlaalu, what happened to the brake reservoir?



Oh, take a little bit of polish to the AC condensor and with about 5 min of elbow grease, that thing will shine up nicely.

should look great after you do the hood latch mod... I never was a fan of the wire cover stuff, whatever its called.

You could paint the bolts that hold the plastic around the lid on too. Very easy mod and it makes a difference. Here's what mine looks like:



Its hasn't nearly as much work done to it or isn't quite as clean, but you can see how the black bolts add just a nice little once. Its more of you don't notice them instead of them standing out.

Btw, looks good, keep up the good work on it.

Looks like a good start. I am starting to clean up my engine bay, I wish I could get everything done at once, but one step at a time lol.

Looks good man. I like the wiremod, I need to do it on mine one day.

It's looking good, but I'd swap out the red wire loom to something that doesn't stand out as much, like black.

Looks really good! I wish it was nicer outside so I could do some engine work.. I really wanna paint the valve covers and other stuff a flat black to clean them up a bit.. I love the simple engine look!
