engine dress-up

ok, granted i have nothing to show off in the engine bay and nothing changed as of yet (apart from ignition wires), i wanted to dress it up a bit.

i hope to make some changes next spring when i have the cash but at least it's a little less ugly under there now.

look ok? too much?

no, everything's just wire loom. i haven't actually replaced hoses and won't until i start changing actual components.

it's just $30CAN worth of loom.

i'd say 3/4". i only had 1/2" so of course, it's only covering the top.

i'm thinking more and more that it looks retarded and i'll probably take it all off tonight.
