Default Engine Bay Pics

Search is dead.
Looking for some ideas to make the engine bay look cleaner and less busy...
I've seen some pics of a guy that made covers behind the headlights... stuff like that... subtle but effective.

thanks


EDIT: Id really like to see pics of bays with all the wires hidden, and a description of what was done...

I also want to know how you hide the wiring harness, looks a lot nicer like that.

search the wire mod. you'll find it. basically the wires run between the splash guard (around the wheel) and the wheelwell.
