A little more color to the engine bay never hurt anything.

It all starts with an innocent little air coupler. That's how he lures you in.

Nice and clean engine bay and the coupler is the start of the slippery slope

That looks good. I like the color coordinated to the body color on your car.

If you want to carry it one step further w/o breaking the bank, you can use "constant torque" stainless clamps instead of the worm drive clamps. You can find them at NAPA in a good selection.

Just over tighten the constant torque clamp on the air bridge side or it will collapse the thin plastic. You also have to compress the clamp slightly to give it the oval shape of the air bridge. The constant torque will never loosen as the worm drive clamps tend to do...
