the ones on the drivers side can be relocated without any modification. if you look down and to the inside, perpendicular to the radiator youll see another ground bolt directly bolted to the chassis. Both of those grounds reach without being lengthened. just unscrew it and add the two grounds to it.

I tried to get a picture but its near impossible because theres a wiring harness in the way.

Don't know if it would looks better or worse, but you could try painting the brake fluid reservoir black.

paint your air lid black but where the TA and bird are mask off the same shapes and when your done peal them off so the TA and bird are transparent. And anything that is mis colored like the oil dipstick and other things that stick out paint black. and MAF ends
