ok my dilema is i'm trying to dress up my engine bay so im probably gonna get some blue vacuum hoses ive got chrome abs plastic piping for my DIY CAI what im thinkin next would be either blue spark plug wires or get my valve cover powder coated blue. so any suggestions on where to get stuff cheap or what wires to use or what color "item" you think i should use just looking for opinions on what u guys think would look nice in a neon engine bay...other than a srt-4 engine and turbo
thanks

 

Just my opinion but dont go overboard with the wire loom and definately dont use 1 color for everything. I bought a 91 accord 5 speed a while back and when I lifted the hood I wanted to throw up. the guy used so much wire loom that I filled up a full sized black garbage bag to throw it out. He had wire loom on top of wire loom and it was all white. It looked so much better(for a honda anyway) when I took it off. Oh, and be careful with the vacuum hoses that you can get from autozone or pep boys. the smaller lines are very weak and would cause my stratus to sufficate at the throttle body because the line wasnt strong enough to hold its structure.

 

Magnecor has 8.0mm blue or red spark plug wires for $55. Accel has them in red, yellow, and blue for about $28. The MSD ignition coil is red and runs about $70.

 

ok daydreamer your suggestion is not to go just blue so if i go blue and chrome what other color would compliment them. also you said becareful about the vacuum hoses. which brand or type would you suggest

and thanks das for the tip about accel

quick add
i painted my radio trim blue and my air vents blue. also there is neon string lighting around my gauges and passenger airbag
for reference to any color/ dress up suggestions
keep them coming guys

 

do what i did on my last car.....i like using colors that dont exactly match...but throw it off alot
i got bored and started painting everything under the hood.....threw in some interior pics too

The last one is of what I did to my tail light. I also took a bunch of the plastic components from under the hood - the cover for the relay and fuse box, the coil pack, and the thermostat housing - and put white primer and a light metallic black on it with a good clear coat. Its pretty cool looking!

 

i like the red
