Well, my engine bay DID look like shit before. Unused wiring hanging all over, dirty, crappy, blah. So I cleaned it up, got my wiring all together and took out the useless stuff, cleaned the gunk off my hoses, and then I added a header, strut bar, and the new fuse cover. The only thing I want to do is get a new exhaust manifold gasket and not use the RTV. I think it looks like shit, plus I've heard from a lot of people that I didn't even need to put it on. Oh well... Tell me whatcha think about it!!

What did ya clean it with? I used a gunk thing and screwed up my plugs and filled it with water cause it leaked under the valve cover so then I just used armour all because i'm yet to buy a detailer which is what i think actually makes everything look black and shiny.

Honestly, lol, I used McGuires Quick Detailer, a microfiber towel, and rubbing alcohol to clean stubborn dirt. Eats right through the shit, and the mcguires detaills as it cleans! lol
