The wire mod is a good mod to help clean things up. Also, some PCM and fuse box covers will help cover up some of the unsightly junk. You can also relocate your battery to the trunk and get that whole corner cleaned up. If you relocated the battery you could get one of those nice polished aluminium coolant revioirs, that would look pretty cool. Also fuel rail cover will deffinatly clean things up, and dump all your emmisions junk if you havn't already. If you don't use your windseild washer much, dump that too.

Here's a pic of mine. I still have alot of work to do like rerouting of wires and polishing but, it's finally starting to look like there is a motor in teh engine bay. The ABS block and all that junk should be gone in the next few weeks.

has anyone ever attempted to make a cover for that big open section behind the headlights and from bumper cover to the cross member that the radiator sits behind? that would probably look really good to. lets get this ball rolling and see who ends up with the cleanest one!
