Here is a thread that may give you some ideas. I was advised I overdid mine, but I like it. I am not finished with the bay, but the split-loom work is completed.

A little paint can do wonders. I went for red.

This is a bit off the subject, but I see so many XB pictures with front strut bars. How do these affect the ride, not the handling, just the ride? Do they make the ride noticeably harder?

/\/\ strut bars have nothing to do with ride stiffness/softness, they're only frame supports.

You should try it. It's super super easy. Pick up White Metal Enamel primer from Lowe's/Home Depo, etc. and some blue painters tape. Remove the cover, tape off, spray evenly, dry, done.
