Personally, I think the engine should be painted to reflect the rest of the car's paint scheme. My Camaro's block was painted black and the rest was all chromed out to match the black & white body exterior, chrome bumpers, and black vinyl interior. Haven't painted the Alero block yet.

Still, Anything on my Camaro that wasn't chrome was done in black (where possible). Not meaning any insult but when I see lime green plug wires it reminds me of the neon green windshield wiper pieces that import drivers add to their cars even though it clashes with the rest of the paint scheme.

I'm hopin' for formula to get his kits together one day......his gold wire loom looked bad-arse.
To Daytona, 3.4, or anyone else for that matter: When painting the upper intake mani on the 6, should It get pulled? Or is it just as easy to mask off the entire engine bay?

Here's 3.4's showcase thread where there's a discussion on his engine work (only one I can find).
2000: you got your wire loom off ebay? How much did you need to get? |
