Default trying to look good doing it

so at the TPE photoshoot, i was embarrassed when they popped my hood and took pictures. under the hood of my truck was pretty much no show and a little go. today i decided to start changing that.

step 1: the color actually matches my truck pretty damn good! the flash caught it and makes it look alot brighter. that dark gray and the stainless hardware will look good once i put the intake back together. i think ill be boring and just paint the valve covers black. and the "wilson" and "fast 90mm" will be painted black instead of the original red that it comes with.



now what the hell to do with all of this wiring harness

if you want to get creative with the wiring . . . take off the plastic and use some shrink wrap on it instead

Here are pics of mine














I don't have any pics with the wiring covering on the wires but i had to remove all the tape and wire covering to to get it to that final picture, once i put all the wire covering on it, it really cleaned things up.
