Oh. I have a 3-piece engine cover that I took off but there's no way to make even one piece work with the blower on. I looked at maybe trying to make just the driver side work but it would just look like crap after I cut it out around where it runs into the blower. So that's why I'm going to make the engine look clean without them.

Cleaning up the engine bay a bit more. I removed the valve covers and coil packs, painted the valve covers red and the coil packs and brackets black and used some split loom on the wiring harnesses since they were really ugly. They sell nice billet aluminum coil brackets and custom wiring harnesses but that will have to wait; I went the cheap route with a couple cans of engine enamel. The valve covers were horrible and I didn't try to sand them smooth since it would have taken forever. I'll just deal with the imperfections of the castings. All in all it came out pretty nice. Here's what I started with.

Here's what it looked like when I was done. I decided to replace the coil pack mounting hardware with stainless steel because the original hardware didn't look too good even after wire brushing.
