What about that new krylon paint they're advertising, at least thats all the plastics covered?

:biggthump

There's a reason why the plastic in an engine bay is black.

 

[swedish_dakota]

I assume you're implying that colored plastic would get dirty after time? Likely, but another interesting alternative would be to go to say, o'reilly's or hey even Fry's and buy bulk of the plastic split piping in maybe red or something? The color one's are more expensive mind you...

 

[AFDakRT]

No, I'm implying that the colored plastic is ugly. So is that colored wire loom bs.

I painted the fuse cover white to match the engine bay....shit is dirty as hell. Looks alright if it'd stay clean. but i would go with billet if you can.

Haha I have my engine done in some of that UGLY wire loom. :jester:

Looks good to me.

 

[redakota]

i have to agree with afdakrt. plastic looks crappy.

I hate to say it, but I just found some of that red loom that was left over from my old civic. It will be on the dak by Sunday.

 

[swedish_dakota]

I recently cleaned up the engine bay with a bunch of that black wiring loom, and retaping a bunch of cables to keep all the eletrical stuff in order, and it looks a lot better than it did before, I will have to put in pictures of it at some point...its still a work in progress, because of some of the places being hard to reach.

Well I'm working on doing a Combination of Powdercoating, Chrome Wire Loom, Painting with Acrylic Urethane Enamel, and Billet to add a bit of sparkle under My Dakota's hood....... :banana2:

This should look Killer when it's Finished!

I've been 3 years in preparing this New Mod!

 

[swedish_dakota]

how much did the billet stuff cost?

 

[01SilverDak01]

The Fuel Rails, Fuse Box Cover and few Misc parts I'm looking to get......

You don't wanna know! ...... I spent more than I should have on it! :nono:
