Default Wire Tuck with a Twist

Got Bored and wanted to hide my wires a little different and put a little color on this side of the car.

Nice cover, but Im on the fence about how it looks. Just my opinion though, if you like it thats what matters.

Looks a heck of a lot easier. For those who wouldn't want the different color you could always paint it to match.

I was just thinking about doing something like this. The cover seems a little large to me. Good job coming up with something different though.

It is a tich big but I wanted to cover as much as i could while I was at it. Easy to make it smaller but it's a bitch to stretch :>) Thanks for all the good comments. It's one of the fun thing about our cars is coming up with new stuff to play with!

Looks ok, but it'd be a lot better if you had a matching fender area cover for the drivers side AIR tube and hood release cable.

Nice effort, I thought of it too. Its, a bit busy but might look better if it were the same color.

Good idea.

The original wire mod isn't hard for those who haven't done it yet.

if you do it to both sides.. i think it would bring better balance to each side and lok better.

if you fabbed up one for each side... id defiantly buy one. i think painted to match would look better but you do have alot of that color under the hood too.
