Thumbs up GD3 Engine bay dress up kit

A few recent pics of my engine bay with all the sickspeed dress-up bolts in place. I'm pondering the big "muv" to a SC or TC but I'm not shua if I want to wait another year until this thing is paid off or pull the trigger now... I personally don't think I am up to speed on the in's and outs of this endeavor. If I decide to go sooner rather than later I will be depending on a few of you for recommendations, T.C., DSM, MinFit, Felix69 and few others that I probably missed with the knowledge and expertise in this area..

Sounds good! I am sure I will have plenty for you after about some dress-up and a I have Klasse Act clean up the paint to try to make her look good again and having TheEvilOne hook me up with a custom exhaust... I am thinking about some engine bay aesthetics which I don't go out of my way to do on the mods I do for myself. I am thinking tucking/wrapping the wires to an extent that still leaves the important stuff convenient to service.

I like that carbon wrapped battery and the red (Samco?) hoses!

Mine is in pretty rough shape no accidents or anything serious, but tons of snowbrushing, inconsiderate former coworkers and a couple dents from hail a few weeks ago!

I may wrap the roof just to hide them.

Just curious, what all have you done to dress up your engine like this? I have to say, it looks amazing.
