Re: Opinions??? Changing my Engine scheme!!! I know most people hate wire loom, but I think its cool, though that white color is very strong and and steals your eyes away from anything else in the engine.....I like the SS sticker....Basically I liek it, but te white olor might be a bit much

Re: Opinions??? Changing my Engine scheme!!! I like where you are going in the second picture (the photoshopped one). As for the color of the STB, I would rather hided it than make it stick out. Just my opinion. Maybe black or body color (in your case Sunset Orange Metallic).

Re: Opinions??? Changing my Engine scheme!!! The last two pics (with the STB black and SOM) look great. I am leaning towards black though. Seems more blanced with the black plastic of the air box and radiator shroud.

Re: Opinions??? Changing my Engine scheme!!! Looks good Mike. I think you have a great plan whether the STB is black or silver. SOM would look really good too to tie in the color of the FRC covers.
Here's my vote:
-silver intake
-SOM FRCs (non GM, with my 'SS' FRC decals)
-SOM STB
-black looms
-polish misc. items
Now get busy! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

Re: Opinions??? Changing my Engine scheme!!! Mark thanks for the feedback, that is the one i am going to choose for sure.
Im going to take my Fuel Rail covers and STB to get color matched next week. My black loom should be here next week also. So the project will slowly begin. Now i have to figure out how to take off the intake? Any advice?
Also do you know of any good paint shops that are cheap and do good work? I am currently using Central Autobody because he does some nice work, but he is a little pricy.

Re: Opinions??? Changing my Engine scheme!!! Here's a good write-up on an intake swap. I used this webpage to do my H/C project. Very well written and photographed! Just one suggestion: There's a big vaccuum hose that attaches to the back of the manifold that's a bitch to remove. I removed the other end of the hose from the brake booster instead which saved me a lot of grief. http://ls1.fbody.com/car/mods/intake...d/install.html
Talk to Paul at Gerber Auto Collision in Elmhurst. It's on Lake St. He does all my paint work. Tell him you know me.
