you can hide it by reversing it. I'm sure you will have a PM...lol

Creating a sik engine bay isn't all that hard. The correct bodyshop, painting stuff, chroming, polishing and Our Strafe way of powdercoating is catching on more and more. Buying polished parts help too. A wire tuck isn't all that hard a good mech or wire guy can help you. Really it is not all that hard to create a thing of beauty...Hit up Bikinilust on here he is doing awesome wire tucks..

you could even polish it if you wanted - but easier to reverse it


What is the "STRAFE" way of powdercoating?

Kenny I'm pretty sure we re-routed mine, I actually don't 100% recall I just know you can't see it anymore.

Depends on what you consider "sik". Of course my standards are very high in this area...LOL. Many people have very nice engine bays. But there are a handful that have gone above and beyond other in terms of attention to detail. Some of the details take creativity or a ton of work just to reroute one line or swap out a part for a chrome/polished one. Wire tucks aren't extremely hard, but its the issues that you could possibly run into when doing it and having the experience to know how to properly diagnose the problem.
