Covering a few things up in the engine compartment...alternative to loom(PICS)
Covering a few things up in the engine compartment...alternative to loom(PICS)
well...I found out quickly that I wasnt going to get along with wire loom very well...so, my alternative is sheet metal :D instead of covering up each individual wire, I covered entire parts of my engine...now its not done yet but heres a little peak
BEFORE:
AFTER:
more up-close pics....just click in my sig ;)
tell me what you think....
I kinda like it but it needs to be rounded off on the edges and needs to be covered all of the way across the front. But I can kinda see where you are going and I think it will look good. BTW I dont like wire loom either.

no offense, but truthyfully i think it looks pretty bad.. (that's my opinion)
it looks way to cluttered and really out of place...<hr></blockquote>
well, first of all did you see the before pics? I did say it wasnt finished...I've yet to mount it, and also I need to find something good to go around the edges....I havent had time to look...Im sure I can find something in the patio department at home depot....and cluttered?? The hole reason I did this was to unclutter.....I also made a few designs that im going to put onto them, right before I clear-coat it....
EDIT: I cant go all the way across because of the hood latch, if you look behing the car in a few of the pics you'll see alot of extra sheet metal.....
BTW: do you think its safe to leave in while im driving?? I primed it and used 500 degree engine enamel to paint it.....it'll be secure of course

lol ya....actually I did this after I read your post, or your friends post...sorry....I still think there over priced...the design is nice though... ;) ....30 some dollars for just battery...or 4$ at home depot ;)
THats pretty interesting. I don't know if its necessary or if I like it, but if you think its snazzy then its definetly unique! Heck, might win you a prize in a car show someday :D
Sheet Metal....if your wondering how I made them...just take some cardboard, or something easy to cut and shape but still sturdy, cut it to the size and shape you want, make sure to use a ruler and right angle... then draw your design out onto the 4$ sheet metal from Home depot and with tin snips take youir time and cut it out ;)
I think it looks pretty good, or at least has potential to look good. My only concern is, wouldn't this trap in a lot of unnecesary heat? It just seems to me that the sheet metal would heat up fast and act like an oven. Anyone else think of this?

I probably wont leave it in when I drive....but ya I can see what your talkin bout there is already little air flow throught the engine compartment...this would just restrict it even more....
