Any under the hood cosmetic mods I can do?

For looks mainly. Just hate to see black plastic covers like they are from Dollarama. Some CF trim or anything to make it a bit more eye candy?

Thanks Taran! I have 50i, but I'm going to custom paint some components like you did. Went to read your build thread

Well as you can see I'm not the only one modding under the hood cosmetics. You are right from purely statistical perspective it's 0.1% of time, but if we all followed common sense and logic and practicality we would drive Prius or some Chevy truck Coming from e90 - lots of people mod under the hood

That too but mainly for myself - plenty of eye candy things like CAI or engine covers made from CF or some custom paint

This is Taran's and it looks nice (hey aren't we all enthusiasts here on forum? this is what we do, as a hobby and as a joy)
