What colors should i use im my yellow WS6?

[NeeD4SpeeD]

I was thinking about changing the wire loom inside the engine bay to make the car look more presentible! Now i have the 02 T/A collectors edition and basically everything in the engine compartment is yellow but if i get yellow wire loom will that be too much yellow? I was actually thinking of red...because with most aftermarket parts such as sub frames and LCA's come in powder coated or gloss red so i want everything to match!!

So what does everyone think YELLOW or RED???

[BadBlueBird*]

I vote leave it black!

[PontiacFan]

Colored wireloom is gay IMO, ..., or 'ricey', ...
(Yes, I am free to post my own opinion, ...)

[2000pontiac6]

I would say stick with the same color.. although if there already is ALOT of yellow red might not be too bad, blue would probably look cool since its almost the opposite of yellow, but i'd still stick with all yellow

[NeeD4SpeeD]

I know it gives it a ricey appearence bt i thought it would beef up the engine compartment for show. I DEFINATLY DONT wanna look anything resembling a ricey cuz i luv stopin on em as it is but as seeing that there isnt many engine dress up mods for our cars i thought changing the wire loom would make it look alittle better them stock and also match the red MSD blaster coils i'm going to get and the red taylor 10.5mm wires also. So just want everything to match.

Would greatly appriciate anyones opinion or vote!!!

[NeeD4SpeeD]

Here is a silver trans am with the loom done up. Only thing is the car is silver and the loom is yellow, looks alittle weird but you get the idea of how it might look on a totally yellow trans am.

This is the engine bay stock.

What do you think? How do you think it will look on my car?

Think it's alittle too much??

[SLIKWS6]

Keep the looms black, and instead go out and by some fuel rail covers, in yello, with Black lettering, polish up a couple parts and throw some painted covers on the pcm modules and battery etc etc...

[NeeD4SpeeD]

Trust me my engine is immaculate!!! Everything is perfectly cleaned and armoraled!!! Thats why i was thinking of alittle extra dressup...

[Corvettekid82]

SOM accents.... I've seen a SOM Firehawk with yellow accents and it was sharp.

[NeeD4SpeeD]

I still dont know what to do. I dot want to get out of control with my rngine but i think that from the MAF, FAST intake and 90mm throttle, ignition wires, and MSD blaster coils along with a strut bar i think i might have all the color i need what do you think???

[NeeD4SpeeD]

SOM accents.... I've seen a SOM Firehawk with yellow accents and it was sharp.


Whats SOM accents?? Maybe i just dont know the abbreviation??

[BlackHawk T/A]

Sunset Orange Metallic

[NeeD4SpeeD]

Ahhh ok i know now, didnt know the abbrev. Yea SOM is a nice color but accents like that on my car i think would be alittle much!!

[NeeD4SpeeD]

Well as we have it so far the vote is in favor of keeping the engine bay black!!! Except for the aftermatket parts that come in red only and im just not going to waste my money getting everything powder coated. So i hope it wont look too bad with alittle red in it...:beer3:

[Zboner]

you should do them in pink! real mean wear pink dawg

[NeeD4SpeeD]

:Popcorn: Definatly....And i can also repaint the car 2 pink, chop the top, find barbie, ken and have the new bitch mobile!!!! LOL

[Redphoenix1998]

I have the same color loom, red on red, here ya go

http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/6/web/426000-426999/426431_66_full.jpg

it doesn't look like this anymore. The !wire mod is done and no more FRC's. I have painted valvecovers and coil pack brackets. I'll post a new pic soon

[NeeD4SpeeD]

Looks real good man!!! So i guess i should keep the engine color all yellow.... Looks like it will match well like yours!!

[Redphoenix1998]

What will help a lot is accent it out with a different color as well, aka. the silver in my engine bay. I'll post new pics as soon as I get my other computer working correctly

[NeeD4SpeeD]

Yea man looks real sharp!!! Cant wait to see the new picts!!!

[Redphoenix1998]

strut tower brace isn't in cause I'm doing some work still to the motor

[Zboner]

did you just use high temp paint on it?

[Redphoenix1998]

High temp primer, basecoat and clear coat as well as lots of sanding. No bubbling or anything and it cleans easy with windex or a damp towel :D

[NeeD4SpeeD]

How are the nology ignition wires?? I have the taylor 409 10.4mm race series and i'm just curious!!:beer3:

[NeeD4SpeeD]

Still the engine looks awesome!!! I need to get some yellow paint and change afew things in my engne!!

[Redphoenix1998]

Nolody's, stick with MSD. They're good wires but still a bit pricey for my taste so I just went with the MSD's

[NeeD4SpeeD]

Not bad... I went with the red 10.4mm 409 wires and they actually look good but i will still do mostly yellow but i think alittle red accent wotn hurt!! :beer3:

[Redphoenix1998]

lol, a little? Be subtle about it cause red will jump out at you like a bat out of hell. You have to strategically place your color if ya know what I mean. I have silver accents in mine but I was pretty subtle about it. Pick the right color combo to se certain parts of your engine bay apart

[prafopi]

i'd rather leave it black.. well if you choose to change it, be sure to pick the right color combo..

[NeeD4SpeeD]

I know i need to be very selective or else the color will clash so i think i'm just going to stick with yellow and black with a hint of red just for alittle spice!

[2001somws6]

here is my som ws6 with chrome bling bling

[NeeD4SpeeD]

I like it man!!! Very nice and clean liek the way i keep mine... Wish i could have my life simple and picked a car color that was easy to work with lol.... But i'm going to have to deal with yellow and get mostly yellow parts and maybe a spot or two of red to give it alittle spice!!!

But NICE engine bay!!! Everything looks real nice!!

[ls1bandit]

Chrome It Out Biotch!!!!

[NeeD4SpeeD]

Think i'll do a yellow and black mixture...... With a hint of red hehe

[SSzoe]

I have to agree with phoenix.....he seems to be on the same level as I am when it comes to engine dress up sense......RED!!! It would look mean as hell on a yellow car and would definatly get some attention man,,,,,,,,your crazy if you go with any other color!

So what your sayin is to go with red and yellow mixture right??

[SSzoe]

YES!!! definatly red and yellow.....I have actualy seen it in person and could say that it was one of the nicest combos I have seen

[NeeD4SpeeD]

YES!!! definatly red and yellow.....I have actualy seen it in person and could say that it was one of the nicest combos I have seen
Thats good to hear that it looks good!!! I think thats what im going to go with then!!! Thanks for you input man!!!

[Geldingmakr]

Me thinks the yellow is a little too much.

[screamin chicken]

I have the same color loom, red on red, here ya go

hey Redphoenix what kind of STB is that......

[lrader99]

naw man its your car paint it whatever color you want....i just like the nice clean factory look

[NeeD4SpeeD]

Thats what i'm gong for.. I want a nice smooth look not so much the "oh i bought all my aftermarket parts in colors so everyone can see them" look.. I want to maintain the factory look but with some added accents!

I've decided to stay away from the colored loom and just get some accented parts here and there to bring out the engine alittle more!

[BIGRED Z]

Keep the looms black, and instead go out and by some fuel rail covers, in yello, with Black lettering, polish up a couple parts and throw some painted covers on the pcm modules and battery etc etc...

NO RED!! I hate the yellow ZO6 that has the red interior and fuel rail colors. I like this guy's idea too. Stay with the black wires and go with yellow fuel rail covers.

Lori

[CD_irish]

Where is the BLACK choice?


heh

[StangKiller615]

Yellow goes best with black....You can have the Pitts. Steelers scheme.

[illcul8troffcr]

OVERKILL baddddddd Tasteful Styling GOOOOOD

Some of those underhood pics look like someones trying to decorate a chrismtas tree with lights or something .. too many colored stringy looms going all over the place..




You could change alot of things and make it look hot by spending some money instead of wasting it on cheap colored plastic loom

[KageSS]

I would leave it black, have it stripped and polished or chromed. Red on Yellow is gay, Yellow on Yellow is gayer..... And yes colored looms are very very very Gay. At the end of the day, It is your ride so do as you please........ Laters

[Mike C]

Wires = Black
STB = Yellow
Fuel Rail Covers = Black w/Yellow letters.

Let us know what you do?

[jerry trans am]

I have the same car same color. I did mimne in red it looks good. You dont want to much yellow it gets tacky.

[NHRAMAN]

you should do them in pink! real mean wear pink dawg
:true:

[BitViper]

Keep the looms black, and instead go out and by some fuel rail covers, in yello, with Black lettering, polish up a couple parts and throw some painted covers on the pcm modules and battery etc etc...


Ditto..do the wire mod shine up some stuff and be done....Ive polished my hood shocks and my STB....looks a lot better
Im shooting fo rthis..

Ive since gotten rid of my red loom....

right idea

So what does everyone think YELLOW or RED???

Why don't you post pics of your engine bay, how it is now? That might help us figure out what'll look better.

[ATCharming]

If u could, make all that grey yellow, and make all the black a rich blue color, or purple (i dont care, call me gay, yellow and purple look good together) :lick:

[F-Bomb]

its cool to have a hint of color but not to have it overwhelming:yup: custom paint looks good on valve covers and intake covers and ect...
