Default Wiretucks? Engine Decals?

Looking for some ideas for my engine bay. Going towards a show car look instead of building it for drag.

Right now i have an ls6 intake (looks stock of course) and a carbon fiber lid. How hard is it to wiretuck and thinking about some chrome covers throughout.

Keep it simple and clean with a wire mod, tucking all ground cables, relocating TCS, etc instead of tossing a bunch of chrome pieces on it.

This is actually a dirty engine, but cameras hide dirt well. Just showing what can be done by simple hiding some wires and whatnot. Keeping a clean, simplified stock look.

It's something you could easily do in a couple hours if you have the right tools. Painting valve covers and coilpacks adds a nice touch as well, unless you plan to buy FRCs.
