With that much effort I think you are kinda obligated to do a really trick/clean wire tuck.  Relocating the coils, re-loomed harness, etc.  I am sure your VW buddies have some tricks up their sleeves in that department as well.   

Great work so far, I imagine ou spent several nights questioning your sanity as you sat in your engine bay... 

One question:  Did you consider filling in the front fender openings with metal?  I have seen a couple guys do that, and it is a cool effect in a really smooth bay.

I plan on wire tucking the bay as much as possible.  The Injector clips and coil harnesses will be seen.  i considered relocating the coils, but honestly, i think it will look better with them ontop cleaned up.  The car is not strictly a show car, it will be worked on at some point, so things need to be accessable.  i did consider filling the front fender openings, but thats a lot of metal and i didnt feel it necessary to do them. 

I questioned my sanity every day for the past 4 months lol

Did a clutch on my friends supra yesterday, so we pushed my car off the lift and outside.  Snapped a quick pic, the engine bay is all wired except for the MAF, which will be hidden under the radiator shroud anyways.  Should be all buttoned up by the end of the week.
