Anything in particular you want to do? Performance parts always make the engine bay look better. Engine covers and things can be painted or gotten in cf. There aren't many wires to replace/cover, so that is kinda out. If you are going show: I showed a car by doing chroming and adding engine bay lights (blue) with a mirrored hood (underside). It was only good for car shows though. Is there a look you are going for?

something mild not for show. I have an intake and its silver, I saw a members ride in here somewhere and it had a dress up kit. He posted where he got it , but now I can't find his post. It was an SI with red dress up kit.

there are tons of things you can do.

if you are going N/A or turbo, you can polish your intake manifold, lose the cover, and get a nice fuel rail.

you could always have your valve cover powdercoated a different color or go with the type R jdm valve cover.

cold air intakes clean up the engine bay, but imo, a comptech blower really cleans up the engine bay, and gives you about 80 extra ponies

Sure, just a small thing like a supercharger does wonders for the look of the engine bay
