Here's some before and after shots of my engine.
I hope everyone likes it. That nice, smooth, red plenum used to be Agent86 yellow.
I will be offering the black powdercoated pieces
for sale soon.

Looked good before too but I really like the red. Interesting wire looms, I hadn't seen any of those before.

Thanks guys, I appreciate it.
At first I wasn't sure about the
color combo. Those wire looms
are available at Summit. They
are made by Made For You.
Thay come in red, blue, yellow,
and black.

I've seen some other stuff by Made For You that was pretty neat too.

Sorry, I like the before pic better. The non-matching runner/plenum never seems to look good. It's because of the flange.

I know the runners are harder to deal with, but I'd go red there too, or silver on the plenum.

I'm not really diggin the flames on the rocker covers either, but hey, you asked for opinions. :thumbright:

Yes, I did and I thank you
for your honesty. The red &
silver combo was what I wasn't
sure of myself, I have no
problem with the flames.
Since it's all powdercoated
I'll stay with it as is but who
knows what next year will bring.

I have to say that it is a bit over the top for me also. But it is your ride and if you like it, that's cool.

No problem DropTop, I'd be
a damn fool if I thought
everybody was going to like it.
I got more positives than
negatives and that's all I was
hoping for.
