Pick out what I need to change next

Alright, look at the picture of my somewhat completed engine bay and tell me what you think I should do next in order to have an absolutely clean and finished engine bay. I'm talking what should I do next to get everything to match. For instance, change that yellow vacuum line in the rear to black or red. Thanks

YOUR GOING BATMAN STYLE!!!

Ok, so heres what i think you should do. First off, you have polished intake pipes, when the other piping is black powerder coat? Fix that. Then your strut bar. Make that black too. Black or red vacuum hose would look good. I think it would look good red because you have red piping couplers so it would be a good contrast. Battery, get a red top or any black one. If you really wanna go true batman style, take out the engine and paint the engine black. That would look gooood.

Actually it already looks good, but ^^ would probably make it look even better.

Change the yellow vacuum hose to a red one, the Optima Yellow Top to a Red Top, and powdercoat the AST black. Other than that, your engine bay looks sick, and I'm sure it's easier to keep clean than the other folks who have all their **** polished.

yeah, I gotta do something about the battery. I was thinking just relocate it. And as for the going "batman style" thats partially true but I wanna keep some things shiny. (particularly the things that are easy to polish) But yeah, I appreciate all this input. Thanks

How about: Leave it alone and stop obsessing about it?

Is there a way to keep or, manufacture a new cover for the front of the engine bay(The one that covers the fuses) I think I saw one on an RE car but it could have been their N/A FD. I hate the way the area between the headlights look on highly modded rx's

Thanks,

Matthew Walsh
