Dressing up the engine bay

This may or may not be my next project- Depends on the money its going to cost.

What did you do to dress up your engine bay- what did it cost. and who did it? I honestly dont really know where to start with this- all I know is that nobody likes what they see when i pop the hood.

Thanks everyone
Eric

Well here are a few things you can do, you might have these already....

JDM RHD battery cover
350z CF engine cover
Polish the OEM plenum, or aftermaret w.e you have.
Samco hoses
Grounding wire kit
Polish any metal that you can see
New caps for all of the fluid tanks
Radiator cooling plate.
Also stickers, sticker, and moarrr stickers jk.

There are a ton more things, thats just what I can think of, I'm working on making the engine bay looks good now too.

- get a front strut tower bar
- get engine dampers
- change your fluid tanks to stainless/polished steel
- get stainless braided hose covers for all your wires and stuff, or you can go the cheap route and get those plastic cover things

there is so much you can do... install LED lighting, put in hood shocks so you don't have to use that cheap hood bar to keep it open, etc etc... get creative, have a theme, stick with it, don't give people a seizure
