wire loom

xtremewhite99 · 08-17-2008, 01:42 AM

I am just wondering if anyone on here has ever changed the color of there wire loom to match the color of there trucks exterior and if so my s10 is white schould I get the white wire loom, or what other color. If anyone has done this can you please post pictures up of there wire loom.

I've never liked the color matching looms. I tried red for awhile but just looks cheap. The only way color matching looks good is with a motor only engine bay. As for colors, all you have to do is look at what neon underbody colors there are and that's what you can get for loom colors.

purplepassion · 08-17-2008, 02:32 PM

black is the only color i would ever use

MeltingPlastic · 08-17-2008, 02:32 PM

When ever I get a chance I plan on doin my iunderhood in black braided for cleanliness over the stock split loom

purplepassion · 08-17-2008, 02:34 PM

everybody has done the wire loom thing....... when they were 17..... then one day they open their hood, and realize how gay it looks, and go back to black loom

Black loom or sleeving, I'm doing colored silicone hose tho cause I got a crap load of it cheap and it lasts better than the rubber.

***sdime98*** · 08-17-2008, 06:37 PM

pretty tacky, if you ask me.

jc71corvette · 08-17-2008, 10:15 PM

actualy looks really good with colors.

NotaDime · 08-17-2008, 10:17 PM

any color would be good EXCEPT white. it will show the dirt way faster unless its a show only truck.

***orangesonoma*** · 08-17-2008, 10:30 PM

no dont do it...

BlueDime · 08-21-2008, 11:49 AM

Using wire loom just doesn't look right. The sleeving looks a lot better. We put blue sleeving on my dad's Prelude when we changed the engine and it looks 100% better but it only looks good if you have a lot of aftermarket parts that are the same color (i.e. CAI, plug wires, powercoated parts, engine paint, etc). I doubt anything but black would look good on a white truck. Most of the time the reason wire looms look bad is because they so brightly colored, so if you can find something that is more subtle like dark colored sleeving and take your time it will look good.

purplepassion where did you get that sleeving? It looks really nice.

Thanks. That guy has the best prices I've seen so far.

Synn · 08-26-2008, 12:47 AM

Xoxide.com has some case sleeving kits, might take 2 or 3 to do the whole motor, but they're out there pretty cheap.

99street10 · 08-26-2008, 08:55 AM

I don't mind my black wire loom but the sleeving looks really nice.
I'll have to pick some up when i'm bored with the wire loom.

Shawn F. · 08-29-2008, 07:12 PM

Black looks the best. When you start adding a bunch of different colors (especially to wires since there is so many) it attracts the eye and looks cluttered and like crap. Black is not so noticable and hides a lot. I'm very picky with wires and hide them all even if it means cutting and splicing to reroute them somewhere else. I will have to post some pictures of my engine compartment later and some of my 66. I have only a couple of wires you can see, the rest are hidden or out of sight. Looks very clean and neat.
