Has anyone attempted a 'tuck-n-hide' in their engine bay?

[Cobra Jet]

I know with previous year Mustangs, lots of owners on the forums will "clean up" their engine bays by taking any "excess" and tucking/hiding it out of the way.

Such as hiding the numerous wiring looms, cables, tubing, vac lines, or such bulky parts that are not needed to be seen or accessed all the time...

Has anyone attemped that with an S550 yet?

Sub'd.....I would also love to see this done!

I haven't really seen this done in an S550, or an S197 at that. This would be an awesome project.

It's called a hood. It covers the stuff up so you dont see them.

This is big in the JDM crowd. I would love to see how it looks on an S550!

I've seen it done on a few s197s especially on the S197forum. I'd love to see an s550 done, but at the same time, I have no drive to do something like this to mine currently.

If you guys have not seen the Cobra Jet thread - check the pics of the S550 Ford Cobra Jet engine bay - it seems Ford has done a really good job of hiding a lot of what is originally there in the production street cars:

The only thing about the CJ is that they don't have near the amount of stuff to hide that out street legal cars need to have. They don't have all the strict emissions regulating equipment, no cruise, etc. It doesn't take many wires and hoses to run/control a "race" car, a street car is a whole different animal. It would be great if our bay could look like the CJ's and I'm sure if someone put for the time and effort if definitely could be done.

Just be sure to weigh the tarp down with beer or coke cans to prevent the wind from blowing it away.

I hate hood up cars at car shows especially a fairly stock looking one with an aftermarket intake.

I would say the battery is pretty well hidden already

Stroud's kit is the one I used- both with a Fat House Fab mini battery/catch can setup and now Watson's trunk mounted kit. Definitely worth the effort.
Looks much better and provides plenty of room, in case anyone decides to add some twins.
