    Engine Dress Up

    I was wondering if anyone has come across ne engine dress up kits. and what i mean by that is different color wires. Im not a mechanic so i dont what ne of the wires would be called. but i mean all the black wires ( nothing against black lol) are kinda boring.

    thanks guys

    im no expert, but i was looking to do something like that and the easiest thing i came up with was different color wire loom. i did it and get lots of compliments. just an idea though.

      Yea wire loom is the thing i got too and a powder- coated valve cover. Other than the oil cap and stuff that's about it and of coarse i got it off of E-bay!

        you can also get colored hoses as well. not sure where exaclty i saw them, but i know a couple of places have them. maybe even your local auto parts shop.

                I would get the wire loom
                however, not from autozone or pepboy
                just because under heat, the color changes in the engine
                i know because i have that and i have some which i ordered from
                a magazine. it is a LITTLE more expensive, but, the color is the SAME
                now for 2 yrs.
                I'll look for the magazine, and get back to you
                but it was a shop in california

                but, the engine loom wire is the best way to go!

                  Yea i bought some of my wire loom at a Nopi show and then the rest from E-bay......My friend had the same problem of his changing color as well and it was from auto Zone! I'd pay a little more man to have it stay the same color and not have to keep replacing it! Good Luck!! Oh and make sure you get enough!!

                        hey qnasty- there is a place in new albany across the bridge where i got mine. K&L customs, they have different colors and sizes that will fit perfectly. i got silver, and they charge by the foot so no need to buy hose tech kits where you only use a couple. that way you get how much you want. they have loom and other stuff too. does cool cars or pro tint on preston highway not have any?
