Custom engine bay accesories picture and advice request

I have chosen to leave my car stock mechanically, to keep the pure base engine in its original condition. With that being said, I have to customize my car in other ways so I am thinking since I like shows and attention to detail, why not just completely revitalize the engine bay little by little over the years.

So, I am looking for pictures for inspiration. Right now as I see it, I can start with things like battery tie down, new strut bar, different engine caps, maybe the JDM blue engine cover etc. I am not going to go crazy and change all of the hoses but fancy enough to have a really pretty custom engine.

My request is for recommendations of things to do other than caps, battery tie down, strut bar and engine cover. And I would like to keep everything uniform as far as brand is concerned, but Perrin only makes some products and not others, GRIMSSPEED makes some stuff and not others, CUSCO makes some stuff and not others, etc.

I would love to receive advice, pictures, suggestions etc of what you guys think is a good place to start and a good direction to go.

Again, I dont want to go balls to the wall museum engine bay, but something thats distinct, CLASSY, eye catching, custom, and unique etc.

very tough question but all good. you could try to do everything STI. you might have to break away from the brand preference and just do suspension parts same band or engine parts same brand. OR you can do everything custom and be truly unique. I painted my tower brances WRB and battery tie down. I plan on getting cusco strut tower bar because itll match.

STI (Subaru Tecnica International) is essentially Subaru's high performance tuning and motorsports division. In regards to the brz they created a slick concept car and have a flyer for production parts to add-on to the brz.

Here is a post with STI's BRZ brochure.
