Let us know how that a/c line reconfiguration project goes. I was studying them last night and it kinda sucks because the hardlines that come out the left side have a sharp bent toward the front at around the intake area. If you want to route them through the back then you're going to have to take it 180 degrees at where the the hardline ends or you're going to have to modify the hardline so that it continues straight across the rear of the engine.

^^ wouldn't be that expensive though? I had something similar done (albeit different lines /system) for a couple hundred £ and it came with full pressure test certs way above operating and or design pressure

Can we all play this game?
The big photo hurts my eyes
What are you going to do with the heater duct vent?

You'd have to get this whole piece custom made.

The heater was deleted in that car so we removed the rubber piece and made an aluminium blanking plate to cover the hole.

who the hell cares? Does anyone really pop the trunk of their 911 to look at a big fan and a bunch of plastic bull****? Nobody cares what the engine looks like.
Bottom line, shut the lid, drive the thing, and stop whining.

Man I feel like the only one who thinks the engine bay is awesome looking, sure it's not super clean and spacious, but I love it! I have never even thought of it as bad looking.
I just painted my plenums red to match my car and fan and calipers.
I need to install my heater blower and my duct but here's how it sits add of now:

THATS A GREAT IDEA!!!!!....now to start acquiring bits n pieces!!!...maybe a nice dual turbo set up....make mine into a 3.8 twin turbo sleeper.....not that the deep rumble of my exhaust will tip it off at all....and I'll just tell them all the turbo whine which will be really loud with two of them is....umm...the heater fan....yeah that it....
