Best way to dress up the engine?

I am just not finding many options to make the 6 look as good as it is. Obviously the prop rod has to go. Mine is a convertible so it already has the shock tower brace. I have seen the engine cover but it is not that appealing to me. Other options? Thanks.

Oh - and show me yours if it looks good.

I like the performance package engine cover. It gives the mustang emblem and dresses it up a bit. There isn't much else you can do besides change the fuse box cover with the aluminum ones and those little pieces.

That was right after I waxed it also, Turtle Wax Ice is good stuff for the plastic and scrubbing bubbles cleans it up nicely. Plus I hate Armour All on an engine, especially since I park in a gravel lot at work and have a gravel driveway.
I still think the Engine cover is the best way to dress up the 3.7, but that is my opinion

Ranian - It's AWESOME. Where did you get those panels covering the battery and master cylinder? Also is the front panel the original, just painted to match or is it a new panel too?

Hi. Do you have a source for the braided pipes?

Thanks! From the factory, the radiator hose has small piece of this located near the front of the engine. I would like to cover the rest of the hoses. On the todo list!
