Default 2011+ 3.7 V6 engine appearance

I've been researching ways to make the appearance better on my 2012 V6 under the hood. These are the things I've found:

Strut Tower Brace
CAI
Factory Engine Intake Cover Kit
Hood struts
Radiator Cover Pre-painted
Anodized/Chrome Fluid Caps
Chrome Strut Tower Caps & Nuts
Fuse Box Covers
Mustang Battery & Master Brake Cylinder Cover Kit
Moroso Aluminum Coolant Expansion Tank to replace the big ugly plastic one
Moroso Aluminum Power Steering Tank
Supercharger

Does anyone do braided hose covers anymore?

Anyone have pics to post or other ideas?

I have most of what is on your list. Get the hood struts from LMR. They fit better than any of the other hood struts.

I appreciate the advice on the hood struts. On the engine cover where the grey stripe is, is that recessed, raised or flat? I'm thinking I could color match that to the car maybe. Which strut tower brace do you have?

Flat. It looks more like its a label. Fortunately, for me, its gray. I suggest you get some paint in a can for painting your radiator cover. Mine was a christmas present. I wanted gray, but got black. But now I like the black better, goes with the procharger. Check ebay for your oem paint. one company sells it by the can.

Not the same thing...but you could do the same to your 3.7 engine bay with colors to match the car.

You'd be surprised what I know! Just kidding, it is in your profile.
