I usually am against wire loom, but it doesn't look too overdone in your engine bay. Nice looking wheels for sure and the paint look ..."red." lol. I hate seeing all these pics of red fbodies that gets ppl asking "is that hugger? som? red?

looks slick as **** man, although i have a personal pet peave against FRC's. IMO the last thing an ls1 engine bay needs is more plastic.

maybe consider a coil relocation kit and painting the VC's? just a thought, just throwin that out there.
