Engine Bay Needs More Bling - Ideas Please!

DavidRam · Jul 9, 2014

Here is what I already have on order:
- 3gCustomz engine half covers with logo cutout
- Billet Tech full set of caps, fuse box cover, tb cover & hood prop covers
- Ebay 97 Wrangler ECM cover

The things I don't know what to do with:

- Electrical wiring? Cover/wrap it?

- Rubber hoses?

- Power steeting & brake fluid Tupperware containers?

- Battery? What's up with that lunch-bag-looking cover? Is there a nice hardcover for it?

- Those with VaraRams. What have you done with the passenger side of the engine bay? I wish I had the balls to move my batter over there...
Or find something cool and unusual to do with it. How about a fish tank?! Or a jack-in-the-box that pops out when someone opens the hood! :crazy:

j/k Lmao!

Thanks in advance for your brilliant ideas!

figure ya like them!!!!!.......lol given away some of my mod secrets.

So the 97 Wrangler ECM cover will work? My friend was talking about that to me. He just couldn't remember what car it came of of. He thought it was a nd cherokee

Looks like it only has three slots not four like our PCMs?

For the hoses and wires, it can get wire loom. They have cooler stuff out there but most of it is not split.

The Wrangler one or the Cherokee one will work, but it does need some modifying, just a little snippity snip. For $15, I don't think you can beat that with a diy cover... I'll rephrase that: For $15, I could not beat that with a diy cover.

Thanks! Split wire loom looks great for the electrical! Just ordered some in chrome.

Has anyone seen battery covers like these for our trucks???

Both of these are for Corvettes... but I really like the CF one.

could grab the dual battery setup in the classifieds right now...would fill in that pass spot and add some symmetry.

I see you're going with the stealthy theme but a hemi orange VR cover would look good. Or maybe the red that you're tying in.

Sounds cool, do you have a link for those? Thanks!

Dano.61 · Jul 10, 2014

Mr gasket sells a pretty nice sleeve set. Let me know when you jinx a set so I can get part number for future reference.

Etroze86 · Jul 10, 2014

Lol I ment throw a second battery in and get those carbon covers made for them.

Lol. Oh ok. I like the idea, but I have no idea what I would do with two batteries, though... Have a back-up battery on board?

I do love the carbon covers!

Etroze86 · Jul 10, 2014

Can't ever hurt to have more amps on board specially if it cleans up the engine bay.

Summit and jegs both should have a universal kit

WhiteExpress · Jul 10, 2014

I'd rather mount the battery(ies) in the bed and clean up under the hood.

To me, it's the little things that make all the difference. Get some metal polish and hit the AC Lines / fittings. Then use a good sealer on em.
