I finally got around to painting some parts in the engine bay & accented the wires. Also chromed the top of the window frame to match the bottom. What do u think.

I used a 1/4 inch trim with 3m tape on the back. the bottom trim is a little larger but I didnt want it to be too chunky all the way around, its centered so there is a little black on both sides of the 1/4".

I like how you've labeled the pix so we would know what to look for. lol

I label them for the app on my phone to down size enough. yeah probably unnecessary but who cares.

I wouldn't recommend painting wires as the solvent can attack the insulation and cause it to fail over a period of 3 - 36 months. This does depend on which type of paint was used, which determines the solvent.

But hey, it looks cool!

I wouldnt paint wires. They are the same plastic coverings as the stock black which had to be removed & replaced with red. Very simple

Ah, gotcha. It's a little hard to tell from the size of the picture and with the caption, well...

Looks great.

Those wire coverings look pretty nice and look like an easy mod- where did you get them?

 

[filian]

I got mine at Pep Boys but your local autozone or advanced auto parts stores might have them as well. If u decide to do it there r 1/4" & 1/2" coverings needed. I also saw a royal blue color which would go good for u jp but the wires aren't noticeable with the engine cover.

So your top window trim is just some 3m chrome tape? or where did you get the trim to go on it.

 

[filian]

I got my trim from Pepboys. Im sure Advanced Auto or Autozone has it as well. The 3m tape comes already on the trim. Just peel & place

 

[Lampoon]

did you go for the 3/8", the 7/16" or the 1/2" sized tape?

 

[filian]

1/4"

@filian-the red looks really good in the engine bay ... so does the upper chrome trim molding

 

[filian]

thanks for the compliments

I agree that the red loom looks so good, that I had to copy you! I think in looking at your pictures that I went farther than you. I bought about 250 feet total of loom in four sizes from 1/4 to 3/4 inch intending to do pretty much the whole engine compartment. Then I saw what a PITA it would be (you'd basically need to pull the engine and trans to get them all) so I dialed it back a little and did only what I could reasonably get to.

I wish that I had bought 5/8" for the part that goes to the ABS connector, but I managed to make it work with 3/4".

Looks real nice. Ill eventually get more done when spring comes around. Do u still use your engine cover cuz i dont. So i guess u like the black tape more then the red which breaks it up in a good way:bigok:
