I like the polished look of your TB. What about a custom SS #3209 headplate? Or if you're really crazy, you could relocate the fuses to where the air pump was. Seriously though, looks great, very clean. Did your car come with clear coat in the engine bay, or did you do that?

that big thing inbetween the shock towers you can get rid of that you wont need it lol haha but for real though it looks good and alot cleaner under there. but i would relocate the fuse boxes and IF you dont use the fluid that much i would get rid of the windshield washer resevoir but thats just my 2 cents cause removing that sheds wait and looks better to me atleast

Don't add color.
It'll just make you focus on ridiculous highlights.
Keep it simple, ..., & black.
In fact, a black battery cover would be nice!

Just stay away from too much color. God! I can't imagine why people add things like colored wire looms. Looks shitty! All you wanna focus is on the looms, not the rest of the engine! Some covers would be a nice subtle touch.

Looks good!
This might be a dumb question, where does one relocate coil packs i'm thinking about replacing my stocker packs. Forgive me for not searching. Makes a huge differance on the looks of the valve covers.
