Engine Bay hose accents
Rice or Nice?
I'm thinking about dressing up my engine bay a little bit by replacing some of the black dirty/faded hoses covering up all the wires. I was thinking about a chrome color to match my exterior chrome accents or red to match the body color. But I have yet to come to the conclusion if this simple mod looks ricey by too much flash or color.
Let me know your opinion

As for the loom....if you're not going to hide the wires than stay with the black as it won't show up as much and looks better IMHO. I bought blue loom to do mine, but than decided against it cause it would have looked to "ricey" to me after seeing it layed over the wires.
