was that supposed to say "color"? i think you're talking about wire loom. yes, colored wire loom is merely a borderline rice visual mod.

I use bright yellow/orange wire covers on the important ones I want to keep track of because I'm getting old.
Damn things get all warped and melt somtimes, too. Got heat management issues, I guess.

I think air intakes look good and they perform, I also like the way strut tower bars look they stiffen up the body nicely, also a header makes the engine bay look nice and they perform, turbo's look even sweeter and they perform alot, same goes with superchargers they add a nice touch to the engine bay and they perform. lol but they aren't exactly cheap but in my mind there is nothing wrong with a nice clean looking engine bay.

some guys replace their spark plug wires with better ones, when their stocks get old/cracked/dried out. and those you can buy in different colors.
other then that, loom is a temp thing... it never lasts all that long.
