I believe the "no cutting" claim is no cutting of the wires. You still have to cut the hole for the wires to snake through the fender well. This is on my to-do list. Looks sooooo much better.

I have color matched most of the stuff in the engine compartment, but as you can see, the underside of the hood and the engine bay is off color wise. It's as if there isn't any metal flake in the paint.

Thanks for the compliments. I'm thinking at this point of getting a set of fuel rail covers and like the look of the GTO's but don't know if they will fit. Anyone know?

Look at the stickies up top in this forum, the Hall of Fame of appearance ones. There is a write up in there about the !wire mod. It de-clutters your engine bay by hiding the wires on the top of the fenderwells.

Thanks man, they really stand out now that all the wires have been deleted from that area.

Thats been a hard decision. The valve covers, and coil brackets are powdercoated, coils painted, and all chrome bolts. The FRCs do hide all that detail, but they also hide some looms and wires and give it a finished look. I took a poll about it on my local forum and it was about 2 to 1 to have the FRCs on. Either way it looks good to me, but I went with the majority

Now that's what I'm talking about. I need to get around and do mine one of these years. I think doing some color matching would make a big improvment.

Eh, so I could take advantage of GM not color matching the engine bay with the exterior of the car?
