Dress Up Kits

I'm looking into adding some beatufication to the engine here in a little while when I pull it out for a rebuild. I'd like to have it looking the best it possibly can and be very presentable at shows and local meets. Overall, just look sexy.

Got any suggestions as for what brand or a speicific kit in general? It will be installed on an '86 Trans Am, 305 Holley 4 Barrel.

Also, I have A LOT of loose wires laying all over the place under the hood and I'm afraid to just start snipping and pulling them out, so is there any real way to tuck them away and hide them from sight?

Re: Dress Up Kits

No clue about kits but the wires thing, are they like bundles of wires or could you bundle them with other wires? If so get cable wrap from a place like radio shack. Much like this but check around I can't remember were I got mine but it was cheaper probably a sound shop.

Re: Dress Up Kits

Here's a pic of my engine bay... all the wires and cables, besides the plug wires, I want hidden. Stashed away somewhere so no one sees them when the hood is up. lol.

probably look into getting some new valve covers, that really make the engine compartment shine, the summit ones are cheap, but you have to poor oil through the pcv hole cuz it doesnt have a hole for the oil cap.

also they sell dressup kits which comes with this braided steel mesh, and billet clamp covers which gives it the illusion that you have braided stainless steel hoses
