    How about a 3RZ with a whirly bird. Fuse box under the dash and all wires routed to be hidden.

    I couldn’t find any old pics of my Mags engine compartment but found something quite similar, just a handful of hoses and ignition wires…all easily identified.

    I prefer no cover. It’s easier to see all the different components, easier to notice problems and easier to do any work needed under the hood without the cover. It’s also probably resulted in a degree or two cooler operating temps without the extra lid holding heat in. And most importantly, it’s a Toyota… it’s not meant to have everything covered up and hidden behind panels like some kind of bmw… but what do I know. I’m just some dude
