Anyone plan on installing different color wire loom under the hood?

I might do something like this.

I dont care for it because usually it is not installed in a tastefull manner. One neat thing tho, there are not that many visible wires in our engine bays.

I don't know how you can call yellow plug wires rice. Just about every muscle car I saw growing up had yellow wires - and most of the rest had orange. It may not be your style, and it may have gone overboard now with the ricer's, but it's definitely old school muscle look.

Plug wires are ok, but every wire loom under the engine like that, icky.

 

[nikivee]

not plug wires. Plug wires no problems. Wire Looms that are normally Black, yes. I think it looks tacky as hell. My muslce cars don't have it. And I don't remember anyone back in the day that I knew with muscle cars that had that stuff in their engine bay.

i think a little color under the hood wont look bad if its done neat the Ls1 pic up there is sloppy

I think part of the problem is the yellow strut brace. If you remove that and clean up the wires a bit, there's nothing wrong with the look of that engine compartment, IMHO.

Uh Schumacherfan,
I hope you don't mean remove the brace and toss it in the corner. That brace ain't for looks. It's there to keep the struts from knockin' on the rocker covers.
I do agree it's a real attention getter when you open the hood. I don't like it. Too much yellow. Best to paint it black (flat) or chrome it. But don't remove it.

I've had all my wires under the hood painted to match my exterior color. Very nice!!
:drink: :drink:

You are correct - I meant paint it black or body color, not remove it entirely. I'm not a chrome person either...

Oh, and you can call me Dan - it's easier to type that way.

Body color ... good thought.

I agree with you Sir. Brings the Old Yellow Jackets to mind. Remember those?
