I assume you took all of that off before you sold it to Chris.... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I personally don't like the purple... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

John, I'm sorry but I have to confiscate your car. Once you have proven you can respect the look of the f-body, you can have it back. We dow our best to hide our wires. We don't want to draw attention to them with GIANT NEON SIGNS. If that is the look you go for, I'd suggest an Acura Integra or Honda Insight.

Don't do that again!

Hey there PSJ. You and I and Todd2001SS need to have a real long talk about the do's and dont's of engine bay clean up.

Will someone from the engine fashion enforcement dept. write this guy a ticket? And find out if he ever lifted the hood in public, if so.......double the fine.

Well, from my vantage point, you look like you are missing the ol' "tried and true" STP sticker in that engine bay! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Do not even think about installing colored loom in your car. It looks AWEFUL!!!! Wires are meant to be hidden not exaggerated!!!!!
