red plastic conduit. wrap around some wires. also, red electrical tape. you can wrap a few wires in that. buy some small chrome pieces like oil caps, radiator caps, battery tie downs, stuff like that. anything will be extremely noticeable if it's something that contrasts like that. when i installed my CAI in my mustang, it dramatically improved the engine bay.

ok... you wrapped hose for your coolant, the wire for your O2 sensor and the battery ground...

your ground wire being red... is that a good idea? uhh... a wire that's red means (+)... taping a (-) wire.... uhh... umm...

my opinions would be take off all the tape... and then buy you some wire loom (auto stores should have some colored plastic ones)... it'll look cleaner then you taping stuff up.

I would go with the Greddy air diversion panel to add some silver. Looks clean and takes 5 minutes to drop in.
