What I was refering to was the bright colored loom just kinda thrown on to wires for no reason. Loom is protection not dress. And the stickers all over the car. I mean I was haveing a hard time telling ig it was a mustang gt so it did help out LOL. Classic engine dress for a mustang in my mind at least is simple, clean and performance orianted. Most everybody else that posted pics have done theirs the way that I think mustangs should be done.
So I guess I'm not the only one that thinks that way.
Well, two or so other members showing similar engine bays does a majority make but I know what you mean.
Again, to each his own.
Actually, the majority of show Mustangs I have seen have a similar engine bay dress up look to what I have. I like some of it but again the whole point of this thread was to try and find other options to things like the looms. Seems kind of silly to me to keep having people tell me to get rid of the looms when in fact that is what I am trying to do.
If I could have less posts on "get rid of the looms" and more posts showing other options and links to where those pieces can be found would be greatly appreciated.
Before you say anything about the blue loom in my pic, It was all I had left in the garage after ricing out my wifes spare car (sunfire) and I had to use it to protect the clutch cable for the longtubes and my fps vacume line that ran under the intake.
The only thing I will say about your wire looms is to point out the fact that you did try them. You did install them on your engine. I have also tried them and like you I have decided that I do not like them and so now I am looking for other alternatives.
By the way sleeve over braided lines dont look good when thrown on lines that don need them. Kinda cheesy.
OK lets be honest here. NO hose really
needs braided lines. The whole reason for braided lines is to dress up your engine bay. Basically for show. So to say some of mine look cheesy because they are "thrown" on some lines that don't need them seems, to me anyway, to be a rather silly comment.
I would list my list of cars too but whats the point. This is my 10th mustang and have been doing it since 1990, I'm only 31 so you got a head start.
I was not trying to brag about how many cars and what models I have owned over the years but was merely pointing out that the engine dress up pieces and techniques used today are in many cases not that much different than from years back. Obviously the models, types and styles of cars have changed over the years which has been and always will be the case.
