Default To loom blue or not??
I wanted to cover the brake lines to the master so I went to the auto parts to look for wire loom and I found blue ones. Ok I'm not the type to just go overboard but I've seen guys do it. I must say, I don't like it but I thought I'd thow it up here. I'm a bit old school, when in doubt paint it black...

I just think it brings attention to the wires...

Yeah way better without. Just like you said it brings attention to something you don't wanna see. Engine bay looks great btw. Intake really pops.

Well glad I bought black loom too. It'll take like 5 min to pull off the blue loom. Glad to know I was right...

Thanks for the compliment.

Well, I've pulled all the blue loom off. Yeah, I think the intake looks sweet. Its been powder coated electric blue. It was worth the money...the brake lines were bent out of OE shape a little. I thought about getting some used lines but not worth all the work...
