Thumbs up Best way to dress up the engine bay?

I've been wanting to dress up my engine bay a bit to give it some more "WOW" and "Bling" factor when I open the hood and right now it's got a lot of work to be done....

Give you a quick overview, the only items I have right now is the ARC Titanium spark plug cover and ARC Radiator shroud.

Planning on adding a yellow Optima battery and possibily a MUZ battery tie down but I want to keep the theme with JDM parts if possible. (Cusco, Mugen, ARC, ????)

The Comptech Supercharger/Aftercooler will be my only real engine mod so no intake needed.

I'm looking for mainly billet items. What STB would do you guys use? What about that funny "sock thingy" you put over the reservoir?

Please post up your pics and identify your mods to help me out!



thanks,
rick

s2x: I'm looking for a front STB so yes I'm interested....

2 things:

1) Will it clear the Comptech Supercharger / aftercooler?

2) How much


thanks,

it seems like you have an AP2. Comptech made a SC specific for AP2 and the elbow they supplied has a dip to support or made STB fit.

i'll try to get you a pic of what i'm talking about.
