Or if you want to get real slick, remove it and get some black RIT dye boiling and dip it in real short increments to just make it look smoked so you can still see the level

These might be helpful...

Before

After Plasti-Dipping the DME box and brake reservoir (along with some other engine bay touch-ups)

What's the process for taking off the brake reservoir? Also what specifically do I need to refill it with?

I didn't remove it, laid some plastic drop cloth around the reservoir and it worked well.

Thank you! I appreciate your contributions.

Looks like it pops off but not trying to break anything lol.

I was wondering if you guys found out if you really can just delete the vacuum canisters as i broke the nipple on one and either will upgrade them or delete them if i can while i do the silicone hose upgrafes. Also, how can i hide the plastic hose that runs across from the brake booster across by the valve cover. I want to clean up the engine bay and reroute that hose and hide whatever is possible. Any help is appreciated

Some people delete them, but it's not recommended. Easy, just buy yourself about 4-5 feet of 3/8" silicone tubing, carefully cut the connectors out of the hard plastic tubing, then run your new line however you like. I personally ran mine under the intake manifold so it's completely hidden.

Got around to installing the vacuum side OCC. Mine isn't near as pretty as _ink's, but I tried to make the mismatching cans look as good as possible lol. I plan on making a bracket for the mishimoto OCC, but for right now it's just zipped.
