Thanks guys, I really try to keep everything nice and clean all the time. I hate seing dirty engine bays.
I am going to make my own harness cover right away here, it should look very good once done. I will post pictures. I am also looking for an OEM polished plenum..if something pops up I will grab it.

I have already started, just need to do some test fitting. Once I am happy with the fitment I will post some pictures, and if there is interest I will make more.
It will be polished aluminum. I am trying to figure out a way to make it a "clip on" setup, so there are no bolts/nuts visible.

Harness cover
Hey guys, as I mentioned earlier in this trhead, I am working on a new front harness cover.
This is the prototype, and you have to excuse the rectangular hole on the top. This is do to my "unique" fuel return system.
It is not secured to the engine in these pictures, so it is not perfectly square to it.
If there is interest this will become a product available for purchase. I may make the front lip a big longer so it goes lower and covers the harness just a bit better.
I am still playing with the desighn, but you get the idea. I wanted to cover as much as possible, and the coverage may increse. Now I just need to polish my plenum.

I love the harness Cover! I am going to powder-coat my plenum black satin wrinkle. You engine bay looks exactly like how i want mine to look with one exception.

first off, wow. i read thru all 24 pages and just...wow. amazing job!! congrats on getting things up and running!
second, any rough estimate on pricing for that front harness cover??
and last, have you thought into making a skid plate to replace the stock plastic crap piece? im lookin into going pretty low with my car and i'd like something more sturdy than plastic to help save my oil pan. any thoughts on this?

I do not have an estimate on the harness cover yet. As soon as I figure out the cost I will post it up.
Oil pan, I have not thought about making anything as far as skid plates go, and likely will not look in to it. Things are really picking up, and I just don't have time to do more R&D work.
