i for one don't give a dick what the engine bay looks like since i don't build cars to lift the hood n show off the latest JDM powerplant.

It's not even a matter of showing off to anybody but yourself.. if you have true pride in your work, you won't come up with excuses to take shortcuts in the way you build things. You don't settle for a crappy halfass approach because the true judge should be yourself. Sometimes people who use the "i don't care what other people think" line are ultimately the ones that do care the most...but beyond that, it's also their way to absolve their work and con themselves (and others) into thinking that going halfass is a-ok, because "it's not built to be shown off." But at the end of the day, you gotta ask yourself, do you honestly prefer something (in this case, aesthetically) ugly over something that would look nice and had true time and pride devoted to it, and would most likely function better... even if YOU were the only person to ever see it?
By your logic, it's ok when things look shitty to yourself as long as no one else sees it. Hmmm actually, that IS true!
And also norcal style.. you guys know what it is...240s with mismatch-colored body panels, silvia conversions with 4 different colors, pre-modified cars that were perfectly fine when bought, and instead of being advanced, instead fall into a lapse of both form and function (i.e. looks and mechanical operability).
