Yeah I just thought the purple would make it pop, but it dulled it down instead 91TypII is coming over tomorrow so I will get his opinion on it. but I am starting to lean back toward a gun metal gray or something a little lighter.

Fuel rail covers? :) Why would I hid those pretty RL fuel rails.

oh you and your wonderful toys. In actuality the only 3.5 ive seen personally was FF drifters and his is a complete stealth setup that looked just like a 3.2. I do luv nicely painted rail covers though, with the lettering a different color than the rest.

I am going to keep the purple now I decided that I like it after accenting it with some lighter (but not too light lol) purple corrugated tubing I bought a while back to cover the main run of the wire harness. Pics on that tomorrow. I also managed to get the power wires fused and connected. I wasn't looking forward to it but it is done. I am starting to get to a point where I can almost keep track of everything left to do :)

Ok here are the pics of the purple tubing but the color is a little bit off in the pic for some reason my camera has trouble with the colors blue and purple.

yeah honestly I think it looks better in person but I can understand that its not for everyone. To me it gave it a finished look though.
 
Corrugated tubing in purple is... eh...

Maybe if that engine bay is cleaned or resprayed and cleared it would be nicer. Clean the paint at the very least!

Regardless, colors and looks should be worried about after its making serious power.

Yeah I agree but I ordered it a while back and I had to create a rejuvenated desire to stare at (work on it) for hours on end, I am getting close though.
 
Can you paint the intake to turbo and intercooler to engine piping the same purple? I feel like that would really tie it all together nice. maybe someone can photoshop it. Also the purple tubing looks better if you cut off the ends of the zip ties:bigok:
 
Looks good Telion. Just a tip for those digital cameras... Back light with something bright enough and leave the flash off (they always wash everything out) the colors will come out better!

Thanks lol, I have purple zip ties but I also have a feeling that minor adjustments will be made so I don't want to use them. Sorry reboticon and deathred I won't be painting the intake or anything else purple I have achieved a satisfying level of purple balance at this point and it will be staying on for the dynos and vids :D
