4.6 engine dress up

Just bought a 1999 XLT with a 4.6 V8. The engine compartment looks kinda bland. Looking for ideas as to what is available to dress it up a touch.

Good cleaning always does wonders. Here is a shot of mine from last week and still looks new for 15 yrs old and basically the 4.6 layout. Of course a few items are new after recent cover repair. Some color match the plastics to the truck, loom wires, and other subtle dress up items.

Wow! Looks clean 2000FordStyle! Some other suggestions "for looks" is a cold air intake, paint the TB cover to match the body, battery cover and fuse box covers, etc...

I painted the intake cover last winter to give it some 'pop'. I'll try to get a photo of it installed tomorrow.
