OK I have a couple bigass wiring harness'. They're in black loom, and I want a different color. You've seen the color of my car, it's a blue/green. I want to re-loom it since most are cracked, have oil and everything else in them etc. To be honest, I think of all colors YELLOW would look nice and contrasting with the color of my car, but ricers have kinda killed it. Not ruling it out though.

I'd also like to do somet hing with my intake. POlished would be nice, but I don't have that patience I don't think, I'm not sure. Another option is to paint it, then polish the high spots.

I want to paint the Valve covers too, since they're a dull black and kinda faded, and a tad rust in a spot or 2.

I have a bigass bracket that I need to try and do something with as well:

I'm going to most likely get "over the valve cover" spark plug wires this time w/ real headers.

Any other suggestions you may have feel free!

Mainly the loom color, the intake, and valve covers.

Also, how about the block? I wouldn't mind having something other than "gray" on it

 

Try noblecoatingii on ebay, I know he powder coats mafs, intakes, and polishes them at the same time...he is pretty cheap too. I think it's like 80 for the intake powdercoated and polished and he ports it for free...if you send it to him and like 70 for the maf to get polished, ported, and powdercoated. Just a thought. I will probably get mine powdercoated from him when I get it off. Hope you find what you need.
THis is pretty cool too:

THanks for the link! Those prices don't seem too bad!

 

Use brake cleaner for all your oil stains/residue... works like magic!

As far as wiring harness looms go, black looks surprisingly good as long as it's not coated in dust and grime.

A polished TB will help you out, as this oversized picture shows. Just get some sandpaper and go at it. (BTW, my TB was ported by Nomad).

Try the brake cleaner stuff on the intake manifold as well. Polishing stuff like Silvo didn't really help when I tried it... almost made it look worse until I used the cleaner on it. I had plans to get my intake powdercoated red LT4-style but I was in a rush to get my car running for this week. I still might go back and do it while I'm swapping the tranny out this summer.

Fuel rail covers help out a lot. So does pulling emissions plumbing

 

Post this in the Apperance section and you'll get a lot of replies as well!

 

Damn guys, I totally forgot you had an appearance section. My bad! I'll repost there, or they want to move it, whatever's clever
