Default Blue plug wires

Does anyone know where to get decent quality blue plug wires for a C5?? Most are either black or red. Trying to do some color coordintating if I can. Ya, I'm weird!

The Taylor 10.4's come in Royal blue for the F-bodies, should fit the C5 as well.

You could also by the parts and build your own.

I just removed some Taylor wires from my Dads 3.4l Camaro. They were put on last year, and he was getting some misfiring. One of the wires had a break in it, so we decided to change them all. 3 out of 6 broke as we were removing them. The Taylor Spark plug wire boots suck.

You have to pull the wire off by pulling the boot, not by pulling on the wire.

I know that, and when the wires were put on dielectric grease was used. I pulled from the boot. The boot didn't break away from the wire, the metal piece inside the boot broke off and stayed on the spark plug. Taylors wires are junk.
