      You should go ahead and tuck the harness/cut out what isn't necessary to the engine bay, like those stupid srs sensors on the shock towers, god i hate those things for some reason.

                Duplicolor Aluminum High Temp 1200 degree paint. For some reason it has a polished aluminum finish unlike the 500 degree aluminum high temp.

                    So fresh and so clean clean, I will one day have an immaculate engine bay. Great progress so far though.
