Sorry guys but the colored wire loom makes me gag. JMO

 

Really nice work with the flames JIM

 

Uncluttered look:

Here is a crappy pic of mine, I have powdercoatedthe valvecovers black, painted coilpack brackets red, powdercoated TB, and of course the Mr.Horsepower sticker. It's kinda dirty in this pic.

 

Nice stuff Parbreak!! Do you have a front shot of the milled ps pulley? I've been thinking about getting one, but I'm afraid it'll show too much stuff behind the pulley that can't be polished.

 

High heat red and TONS of clear. Glossy.

 

Camera is dead right now, needs a new battery. But I just went out and checked and it seems the only thing you would have to worry about polishing behind the pully is the actual pump itself. That might be a PITA to do without actually pulling it out of the car. That really only shows through on about the lower 1/3 of the pulley, the top 2/3 is just the black plastic reservoir. One of my next projects will be to make a carbon fiber "box" that covers the reservoir and extends down over the pump. OH, by the way, since those pictures, the battery has been relocated to the wheel well area and the engine is even more uncluttered.

I think less is more. Hide wire don’t make them more visible.

 

I'm not going to call it Rice because I did the same thing to my car when I first got it only in red. I came to realize that less is more also and did everything I could to start hiding of camoflauging wiring. Make for a much cleaner looking bay.

 

thanks for the rice flag, but thats the first time anyone has ever said that about it. oh well. i would hide the wires, but this i smy daily driver and if i ever need to get to one of them for some odd reason i wouldnt wanna dig them back out. otherwise i woulda done that first thing.

 

I don't like the loom eigther IMHO. The wires are there, not gone, you just minimize them. (strip the factory loom and take off the electrical tape, make it run as thin as possible and re-tape.)

Opinions, opinions.

 

I agree, remove the wire loom. Your engine bay would look much nicer imho. I like the carbon fiber thing you have going with your battery top. If your strut tower brace, and the bumper support were covered in that type of material, it would look awesome. I also think if your emblems under the hood were silver or chrome, they would go much better with your car's color.

 

Just some of my favorite pics

 

thanks for the opinions people, i guess ill take them off and ee how i like it...about the wires......jsut take off the loom are and put them all together and relooms w/ thicker piece? i didnt quite understand that.

 

where'd you get those colored washers....and what wires did you relocated and where'd you put them?

 

here's mine
easy to clean

 

Here is my 1996 Z28:

 

I'm doing the coils in red too. Just finished the Pass. side an hour ago. Starting the driver's side tomorrow. I'll post pics

 

Here's my Phoenix T/A - engine bay pics a little out of date...
