Very nice!

Maybe the ASC build number or some emblems (ws6 etc...)on the side of the bay.

I like to use the Chrome wire looms, but they're hard to find and have to be put on carefully to keep from flaking the chrome off. I'm not a big fan of the colored stuff either, but I have seen some nice and creative uses.

So my two suggestions are: Chrome wire looms, and FRC's

If not those, leave it 'cause it looks fu**in sweet as is, Bro!

Looks great.

Just a thought, move the ground wires on the passanger side to in the wheel well. It would have been handy to do when you did the wire mod.

All of the Covers came from specialized stainless. I ordered some FRC's back in Feb. but they still have no e-mailed me yet to make them. Still not sure on what colors to get. I was thinking black with Chrome lettering. After thinking about it though I really like it just the way it is. I would be perfectly fine without changing anything really. I also have a emblem coming from third shift studios. Here is a pic of it. I dunno which side i'm going to put it on tho...

the bay looks great as is. i will suggest (like whats been said) to hide your grounds. all of them can be hidden. also, id hide the TCS behind the ecu, cleans it up just a bit more.

Your ABS block is an easy polish as well. No need to remove.

I Agree. I like the Black wire loom instead. The battery cover is also a nice touch.
