My suggestion...if I may:
1. leave the battery/master cylinder covers as is.
2. paint tanks flat black (gloss black makes them stand out too much)
(make sure to mask off windows so you can check fluid levels)
3. swap the OEM intale coupler to blue
4. wrap the two wired harnesses on each side it matching blue electrical tape
5. dont get the pi-thon intake locks (too bulky)
6. def polish the timing cover
7. scrap the engine cover
8. keep rockin' that GTspec strut bar (its perfect for your car)
9. wire tuck
10. remove all the OEM sticker from the bay and underside of the hood
11. remove and cap off passanger side windsheild wiper (oh yeah..I said it)
12. thank me for reveiling all my secrets...lol

What do you think I should do to my engine bay?
UPDATES in thought:
-Gloss black painted Battery Trays
-Hopefully the wire Tuck Mod...
-Polished front Timing cover
-PI-Thon Locks for the Intake and a few other spots...
Question for everyone?
Should I change out the Blue Coupler to Black or change out the OEM Black one to Blue...Or even better change all of them out to Pi-thon locks?

The delete is easy to do...if you know what to look out for (Marcus knows what I'm talkin' about...lol)
I did this mod based on Danny's (GreenGoblin) word that there is no adverse effect on performance, but I guess only time will tell. So far, temps look normal. Because the caps are rubber, you will have to check them often just like OEM hoses just to be safe. They will probably need to be changed every year or so. If anyone in Socal wants this mod, I will do it for $50 (parts and labor) but I will not take responsibility for any wear or damage cause by it.
