Default Engine bay mods

Hey guys i was looking into making my engine bay look a lot nicer. I was thinking somewhere along the lines of cooling plate, engine heat sheild, and maybe some hoses. So far all i have is the FIPK. Any information would help and also im not trying to spend a ton of money on this either. Thanks everyone.

Do it similar how mine is. I have some pics on that thread titled "Intake" on this same page, I see you already posted in it. I would keep the FIPK, get a carbon AUT cooling plate, Moddicition is coming out with a full carbon heat shield soon so I would wait for that, then I would honestly paint the valve cover to match the car, then put a carbon spark plug cover. Then just clean everything else up nice and it will look good.

You might want to consider a cross-beam cover

Suzuka_Blue has one of the cleanest engine bays on the site imo.

Thanks man. I know I have seen plenty cleaner than mine, but most of those are shaved and have loads of cash dumped into it. I think mine is very clean for what is done to it.

Does this seem like a good deal:

Oh and i'd probably do a strut bar too, any ideas?

Looks like a pretty good price.

As far as a strut bar I would just get the cheapest one that you like how it looks.
They are for looks only on this car.
