Red engine

Just got finished doing wire loom on my engine. I also painted all of the plastic caps red, along with the intake couplers and battery tie down.

It looks pretty sweet, although I must say the the wire loom is not tyhe highest of quality. I was expecting it to be rubber, not plastic. The part that really sucks it that when you put the big pieces on, they crack down the middle, so there is a visible white crak running down every piece. There is no way to prevent it or hide it. The smaller wire worked out great though.

Matches my calipers now

I got the one from custommaxima.com. I think I got ripped....

Also, the stuff left a red dye EVERYWHERE. All over the bumper especially as it rubbed up against it. I had to use Dissolve it to get it off. Total garbage.

It's plastic it's made by taylor. It didn't crack at all. You can get it from J C Whitney for 14.95 well worth it and I still have some left over I will get a pic up soon. the colors they have are red,blue yellow, teal green, and purple.

Looks great, is that all wire loom or is some of it direct hose replacements? Like the AC condenser tube looks to be all hose, no loom.

Nope it's all wire loom. Most of it I just put over factory wire loom. I know it kinda sounds stupid but you try taking the old stuff off with all that electrical tape.
