Advice wanted on "pimping" my ride
Hey guys, first of all, I'm not really pimping it, it'll be tasteful, I promise.
I have a 2002 CETA WS6 Manual Coupe, dynatech supermaxx headers, borla exhaust, 4.10 gear ratio.
Now that you know what I'm working with, I want to beautify my engine bay. I'm going to cover all the wires in black cable wrap, or whatever that plastic hose junk is called.
it already has mirrors under the hood and on the fuse box's and battery.
I'm just beginning to become car savy, but I can't remember what the engine bay bar is called, the one going right over the engine, I want a black one of those, what is it called and where's the best place to get one?
secondly i want to get a set of corvette fuel rail covers and put the CE logo, and Trans Am logos from the doors on it, and paint it the same color as the body
next I want to build an in-car pc with a flip out 7" touch screen, connected to the obd-II port. and also connected to my interior lighting, for which I want to change from red, to yellow. I've read articles on how to make a computer be able to change the voltage running through led's to change the color, that's what I may do.
also I want to get all 6 lights changed to hid lights and re-wire it to a convertible hatch switch, so when i press it up, all 6 lights come on at once, illegal where i am but too badass for words.. i'm not positive i'm gonna do this, but i really want to.
i'm also changing the exhaust tips from a single slp circular opening to a dual tip squarish design.
i've already put 17x9.5 and 17x11 black torque thrust m's with 315's in the rear and 275's in the front.
how do my ideas sound? and what else do you think I should do?
please show me your mods so I can get some good ideas, i've already gotten most of these ideas from others on this forum but i can't remember who, if you happen to see this, please feel free to remind me it was your idea, i'm not out for credit, i just want a nicer car.

Hide the wires Search for the wire mod and it will def make your bay look cleaner. I posted a pic of my engine bay in appearance if you wanna look it up and see how cleared out mine is

Strut tower brace, they can be bought literally anywhere online. I got mine of ws6store.com im sure ebay would be a fine place to start though.

I would do the fuel rail covers, polish up your alternator to match the battery cover etc.
Talk with Jaison from Third Shift Studios for some sweet custom emblems, can't go wrong with a strut brace, do the wires mod (of course), HID's can be pricey, but if you hunt around you can find some really awesome deals!
Maybe even do a polished radiator support..........don't know what else at the moment

I believe the mounting kit you're referring to is called a HUmount, I don't have a link to their site, (Non-sponsor, last I checked) but it can be found with a quick net-search
