Need some advice on making my engine look better...

i want to make my engine look better when i open the hood. Wether it be different colored wires or whatnot. I just put an intake in my 95 Civic Lx and it already is looking good. I want to keep in kinda cheap cause im doing some other stuff to my car now.

Thanks

some people like to get different colored oil caps and valve covers. try to stick with like a certain color scheme though, like if your intake is bright red and you get a neon green valve cover with a purple oil cap and yellow wires or hoses, basically its gonna suck. --obviously an extreme example but actually not far from some things i've seen...

Braided hoses are always cool...you can get a hose sleeving kit which slips on over your existing rubber hoses like air con, radiator etc.

The best advice I ever heard was to go with two colours tops... plus polished and black detailing.
