I was really unsatisfied with how my engine bay was lookin so I have been attempting to clean things up.
I have started by using a HO Manifold and am going to reroute my charge pipes underneath the motor ala Brandon Fetter style.
I am relocationg the battery to the trunk.
But now heres my problem, when I blew the first 2 turboes because they were junk, I had to take out and mess around back by the firewall.
With that came many scratches and just plain doesnt look good, being as its bare from removing the cruise and a/c.
Now, heres the thing, I noticed that the new malibus and saturns have like the carpeting that comes underneath the hood on the firewall also, but I am not sure if my turbo stuff would just burn it up.
So I am looking for some ideas on what I could do to cover up the firewall or make it look better, something, because I am stumped!
diomond plate. hmm sounds nice.

R.I.P. Brian Klocke, you will never be forgotten
Brandon: Dude thats a sweet idea! Hopefully I can make them by the Bends I already have, if not I will have to buy more! But yeah man, if you would do that that would be really bad ass of you man!
Yeah, hopefully while your up here you could throw me some ideas cause I am stumped on this.
Anyways, we can go check out Jamies ride too cause he is home on spring break, and he has the new fuel cell installed and everything, looks sweet.

I wish I could find out what temps the under hood lining could withstand, cause I think that would be good...but dont wanna risk setting it ablaze....
You could use something like this.

Just cut a shape out and glue it on. It would look better, like they mentioned, a piece of polished metal but I would be hesitant to drill into something that you don't know what is back there.
