... that i want my engine bay to be red! I drove to Loews, RS Strauss, Pep Boys, etc. and no one carries wire wraps in red! I was like WTF. So I settled for a can of high temp spray paint, then painted the engine cover. Anyone know anywhere online I can get red wire wraps(or whatever you call them)?

 

lol.... looks cool...

 

wow.. that stands out.
i would've taped off the top part of the toyota sign, the vvti and the 16 valve. mighta given it a better contrast. looks good tho.

 

Hmmm...I could just throw a general site out there for ya ebay.com ...but i guess just any red wrap will work for ya no?...i like ur valve cover btw...
EDIT:: I noticed ur Eyelids...where did u pick those up at?...I wonder how they'll look on a FM tC.

 

ohh and its called wire loom.

xoxide is great. I get all of my computers bling from there.

 

I did actually tape the Toyota Sign and VVT-i... but then after it was done, I didn't like the look of the black lettering so I took em off and colored them too.

The eyelids were off Ebay. It's a applique. I haven't found anywhere that makes real replacement eyelids yet.





No one wondering why my license plate is on the dash yet? While the car was parked someone hit the plate really bad, messed up my front bumper a bit. The screws also were loose. I had to take em out.

 

i was thinking of doing the same thing to my SSM Tc, but looking at an original color like "Money" green. Like the Wu-Tang Clan once said, "C.R.E.A.M."

(C)ash (R)ules (E)verything (A)round (M)e!--dolla dolla bill y'all!

also, couldn't you just use model paint to repaint the Toyota lettering? i mean, its a piece of plastic. i'm not sure just how heat resistant that piece is (looks and feels kinda flimsy to me.). i would think the plastic piece would melt before the model paint would catch fire.

 

depending on were you live, there is usually a speed shop around that sells parts for old domestic cars they usually have colored wire looms, thats were i baught mine for my barracuda, look around your area on yellowpages.com

 

Awesome! Truthfully i would have never thought of that. im gonna do that now. paint it blue to match my intake.

 

Go to hosetechnique.com and buy the silicon tubes and cut and fit them on the wires... it will look much better than crappy looms.

 

You sure about that address?

That doesnt bring me anywhere but some domain search page type thing.

briiiiiiiggghhhttt! heh looks good man

 

did you do a primer?

clearcoat?

primer and clearcoat will guarantee that sucker stays red...

 

actually looks ok.

 

I couldn't find any clearcoats there were temp resistant. The piece is plastic so there's no real need for primer. I usually only use primer on metal things.

 

so you just painted it right off. what about a Spray Adheasive Promoter for better application?

 

looks kinda professional.

 

Yep, I sprayed like 20 very VERY thin coats though. A couples piece of pollen flew into one area once and i got ____ed off. I had to scrape off part of that area and do it again.

I did tape off the VVTI lettering initially but I didn't like the contrast of silver and red colors on that piece so i just painted it red too.
