Help me dress up my engine bay!!!

My turbo build is complete and my car is getting tuned tomorrow. Everything is clean and looks great (see pic below) except I would like to dress up my engine bay little more. I plan to replace some rusty brackets and nuts, and also a few things on the list below...

1. CF or polished spark plug cover
2. Reservoir socks or polished caps
3. Strut tower bar - maybe Password JDM
4. Polished battery tie down
5. Polished positive battery terminal
6. CF or polished fuse box cover
7. ?

I would like to stick with a particular theme so it doesn't look like slop, maybe polished or CF. So I searched the internet and didn't see anything special except the usual Skunk2, DC Sports, or AEM. I know I've seen a lot of clean engine bays here on HT, but I don't know what you guys have.

What do you guys have or what would you recommend? Any feedback is much appreciated. Thanks!

You need to do a wire tuck. Including tucking the battery and fuse box.

you're saying that the stock itr bar... that mounts in the same location as the gsr one on there now... is better than a solid 3 point strut bar?

Carbing or password jdm front strut bar, relocate the battery, do a minor wire tuck job, carbon kevlar sparkplug wire cover and that should be cool....
