Cleanest Engine Bays?

Who's got the nicest ones? Not just clean as in no dirt, I mean like wires tucked away and not as visible as stock, things like that. Pics help.

 

Personally all I've really done is tuck the cruise cable and a couple others under a coolant hose, and shortened up the main brake booster vacuum line so it doesn't stick up as much.

It's not that big of a deal; plastic bag over the alt and coil packs and spray away....

I'm pretty obsessive about this myself. Yesterday I washed it for the 3rd time this summer. Damn dust!

 

Wiring isn't run the cleanest though. Cheap Autolite "Pro-fit" wires are WAYYY too long.

I may update these with new pictures if the thread is still around in a few days.

 

EDIT: By the way, I don't think anyone has done much in the way of wire hiding/relocation here for "looks." I wouldn't bother with wire hiding unless I showed my car off a lot at carshows......

I still need to work on the wiring for the remote fog lights (right side of pic near battery)

What did you polish that plenum with?

It took a lot of sanding to get it smooth, then I wet sanded with finer and finer grit paper (up to 2000). Buffing with aluminum polish brought out the shine.
