UnHolyTib, do you have a black one done up? Or at least a black plate with etching done on it (doesn't have to be THIS fuze box cover). I'm curious..

Would it help to clearcoat these? I'm wondering because I've seen certain plastics oxidize or fade.

Here you go... not perfect pix, but nicer looking then the last ones. You may use them if you like.









I hate to say this again, but next weekend I'll be getting better pix.

Dude, what's with the 6 different shades of blue?

LOL

Wire loom sucks ass. I put it on for a bit, saw how bad it sucked, and took it all off. Why did you electrical tape it all?

^^because that's how a wire loom is applied. You don't just stick it on, you tape the end. Look at your stock ones. It's probly why yours sucked.

My couplers and hoses faded when i tried this super-strength engine cleaner last week. They're the same ones I've always had.

I've got a new set of silicone couplers, hoses and electrical tape going on this summer.



It dosn't look that bad in person, but looking at that picture a 2nd time, I might have to put those couplers on sooner.

Right, you tape the ends... So you tape blue loom with black tape, and I'm assuming blue tape on black loom? Mine sucked because it went on, I used the actual wire loom ends and junctions (that's actually how a wire loom is applied aftermarket, when you are doing it just for looks so you know...), and it looked like blue spaghetti all over my engine bay. Then, after a few months of extra hot engine bay temps, it gets all brittle and falls apart around the hotter areas of your engine bay. Personally, if you are gonna use the crap, use the junctions/ends, or use some blue electrical tape.

I did it because I had to replace 3 wire looms from sensors I was messing with, and add 5 wire looms to my bay from stereo install, security system and a couple other system. I replaced the rest a little later. The stuff isn't getting brittle after almost 1 year. I've just got to make it look better, but the ground work is already there.

I'd agree it dosn't look great in those pix. I told him i'd get him some new ones though. When everything is siliconed lubed and polished, it looks great. You can see the water on the battery still in those pix.
