Default Easy Quick Mod, best of all cheap!

Hey just was looking at my radiator with a buddy of mine and thought it looks nice black but the aluminum lines that run in front of it really are a eye sore. Thought about painting it all black and then I had a idea! I used some black braided wire sleeving around all of it and it really cleans it all up nicely. It is easily done, quick and best of all cheap. Much easier than painting all of it and it even provides protection to the tubing. Got my 1/2" stuff from Harbor Freight Tool for like 2.50 and took me like 15min. to do.. Pictures are at the link below. The stuff is easy to use and I was able to open it up enough to over lap some of the areas that get wider. When doing the corners twist it and it will go right around the corner.
