Default engine covers done

well i finally got my engine covers done i used stainless steel mirror polished i need to remove some of the loom because with the polished steel it looks like double the loom lol. took me all day sunday with the help of my friend steve he did most of the intricate stuff i did the basic heavy labor. cost me a total of 132 bucks for parts and about 9 hours labor. i may want to add something to the coil covers becasue they are just plain flat so we will see.

Hmmm, I dont dig it at all, IMO lose some of the purple loom. You've got that stuff everywhere even on your fuel regulator hose lol.

But hey man if you like it then thats all that matters

Man, I hate to say it but...........Not diggin' it at all. Too much tubing and I'm not a fan of the color either. But that's just my opinion.

again with the mirrored it makes it look like there is tubing all over the place i do need to remove some but it really makes it look almost double with the covers. also i chose the purple cuz everyone does blue red or yellow its different but ill get some pics after i make a few changes

Any colored loom looks goofy and cheap to me. Don't like it at all. Maybe if you went with braided stainless loom it would tie in better with the stainless sheet metal accents you created...
