Default Engine Bay Pics

My engine bay isn't that pretty and I want to clean it up a little...get rid of useless crap like extra vacuum lines that were connected to the smogsystem, and tie up little wires, and you know.

So Can I see some engine bay pictures to give me an idea, or encouragement..LOL

I just dipped a paint stick in some body color acrylic enamel and started "slinging and flicking" it on till I thought it looked right...I did the underside of the hood as well
