dress up your bay?

has anyone done anything to make their engine bay just look a little nicer? minor wire tucks, paint something, get some wire covers, aluminum overflow tanks, anything? i know a lot of the gd guys are painting their engine covers, we don't have the same cosmetic piece they have to do that, but has anyone tried spraying what we do have?

i haven't done anything yet, or i'd let you know.

lets see some pics!

I have not done a wire tuck or even CAI but I do have a CF manifold cover, Mugen sock over my brake fluid can, Mugen oil cap and Mugen radiator cap. Gives it some bling and of course Mugen and JDM Password stickers on the front which you can't see with the hood closed. Would post up pictures but I am at work.

I haven't paid much attention to GE's, but on a GD there really isn't much to benefit from a wire tuck. Its already pretty clean under the hood. Much like Cat I've got a kevlar manifold cover, oil cap, rad. cap and res. covers.

You GE guys could polish the lower intake runners to a satin finish like I did on my GD (see my avatar). It might look a little funny with the newer upper manifold that the GE has though. I would like to see someone custom paint the plastic manifold on the GE, If done right that could be really cool! Score04w, I don't want to rain on your parade, but the valve cover is damn near invisable from above on the GD, unless you painted it blaze orange of course LOL
