You could paint the brake fluid reservoir black.

Here's mine, wiring hidden behind the firewall and fenders. I have approximatly 250 hours worth of work in there. Yes I know I need to get red hoses and plug wires!

nice! is all the wiring long enough to run under the inner fenders or do you have to extend any of it?
