Re: Alix0r's 04 GP Build Thread (pic heavy)

Please get rid of the red loom!!!! Its killing that engine bay change it all back to black and leave the red strut brace. With the black dog bone mounts black diagonal braces the red just destroys all the attention that sexy polished blower should be getting. Damn good looking ride tho!
 
Re: Alix0r's 04 GP Build Thread (pic heavy)

Thanks man...Haha ya i know i did the red loom a couple of years ago.. i was going through a red and silver theme phase so thats why its red lol( along with my red lettering inlays) one day i will bite the bullet and just do a wire tuck, but for now i dont really show or go to meets anymore so ima leave it lol
 


Re: Alix0r's 04 GP Build Thread (pic heavy)

Cmon I have images burned into my head of that red loom ruining the polished blower loom is cheap do it!!!

What has been seen cannot be unseen!!!! LMFAO!
 
Re: Alix0r's 04 GP Build Thread (pic heavy)

Haha im sorry you had to see that... we all go through those phases of what was i thinking lol... im thinking about doing a rebuild this summer and will prob do the wire tuck then, can you wait until then? Lol
 
Re: Alix0r's 04 GP Build Thread (pic heavy)

I guess I could settle for no wires at all...........








Or I will find you.......











and steal the blower and your brakes!!
