Here's mine... Not the best by far, as clean as I've had it though. Figured I'd jump on the bandwagon.

That's Renova carbon radiator cooling panel. It's been discontinued for a while. I tried to find it, but had no luck. I ended up getting Garage Defend one and am VERY happy with it. But still I should have bought Renova one when it was available...

That green car would be so much sexier if it wasn't green.

Ah, just got directed to this thread... figured I'd post two engine bays I worked on from the past few years or so in some friend's former cars... since the cars are sold now it should be ok for them to pop up online now.

S13:Fully shaved engine bay and radiator brace (people seem to neglect that when they shave engine bays nowadays). Main engine bay fuse box is actually under the battery tray area, with a battery with custom terminal posts "poking" through down below. Hmmm... otherwise pretty basic rerouting of wiring to hide as much as possible, but still maintain a semblance of OEM appearance.

S14:This one's a little more extreme... again the whole engine bay and rad brace is shaved, even the side holes in front inner fenders where oem main harness was routed. New stainless hard hydro lines for brake and clutch rerouted through firewall and pops out hidden beneath passenger side footwell. All wiring and cables loomed and rerouted underneath everything. Turbo piping rerouted to run along framerail below inlet pipe. Radiator hoses loomed and big heat shrink wrap on the ends (upper wrap on radiator side was cut off right before this shot, so that's why you can see the hose clamp). Shaved valve cover and coil pack cover plate... and lots of other little bits and pieces, here and there. Kinda happy with the way this one turned out actually; I figure I still learn new tricks from each one, and I'm figuring by the time I get to the one going in my old roadster, nothing but a running block will be visible

I'll have to get better pics but this is the best my engine bay has looked so far. I didn't do any custom shaving but wire tucking was the main game plan. I still have to figure a nicer spot for the lower harness and eliminate those automatic inhibitor switch plugs.

This was before the swap was complete (the unsecured ground wire heh) It has changed a bit since then but still not to my final liking. When the weather gets warmer and I have a few days not to use it as a DD I'll redo some things.

yup, radiator is below the IC in the same setup,

It just becomes a PITA to refill fluid sometimes.
