Wire loom & oil cap

i never got around to taking pictures of my engine wire loom but decided to do so now since a buddy of mine bought me a aftermarket oil cap. Enjoy!

yea, i know my car is dirty but with all snow here in K.C, i'm too lazy and cold to wash it.

The next step is too paint the pastic covers but will wait and see what paint works best. I'm also waiting to see someone line to plastic pieces with red carbon fiber.

That looks nice, how long did it take, and where did you get the loom?

It didn't take long at all, it just matters in what you want to loom.

You can get it anywhere, from your local automotive store to the workdwide internet.

your buddy bought you an aftermarket oil cap? Kind of different.

Functional engine parts. The gift that keeps on giving.

happy holidays!

I like the oil cap, but I'm not a big fan of all the looming. It looks clean, but too busy to me IMO. If done in moderation and maybe with some chrome lines it would be really sharp. Thanks for putting up the pics for all to see.
