The wires? They're frigging' everywhere Ford put them. I haven't moved anything. It'll look a lot better when I have a nice day,some time,and some motivation.

It turned out real nice Vinnie. The only thing I'm not real sure of is why you painted your strut tower brace red? I think something more suttle like a dark grey or have it be the same color as the car would look better. It just looks out of place to me. Please don't take any offence because you know I think your car is sweet, it's just my 2 cents.

It's a frame for the intake. Also,I actually had thought about black or gray,but wanted something a little different. It does grab the attention,and then puts your eyes right in the middle of the engine.

It looks a million times better than mine, I have wires and wires and wires everywhere, they all stick out like a sore thumb.  You've done an excellent job with that car and it keeps getting better.


Here's my disaster - (don't mean to clutter up your thread, my bad pics only make your's look better...lol) Now you see where I'm coming from

This is true it does do that. The intake would grab your attention either way though. It really does look great!!

No worries,jump right in. I did away with all of my smog equipment,and the Mark VII probably has harnesses my Sport doesn't. I had thought about hiding wires,but realistically,with a daily driver,I'd like to keep access to everything as a "just in case" without having to pull wheels and inner fenders to get to hidden harnesses in order to clean up under the hood.I don't mind some wires.

Looks great. As long as you run the wires where Ford had them and keep them in looms they aren't that noticeable. I don't even really notice all the wires under my hood because they are all where Ford put them and in the factory looms.

You've got a Mark VII with a bunch more wires than a T-bird or Cougar ever had;)

Hey,no offense at all about the color swap idea. I'll take any feedback you guys have to give about the Sport. Some things do NOT work (parts,colors,emblems,etc). I enjoy hearing it all. I have tossed around the idea of changing the color,but I'm still unsure.If I did change it,I'd probably go with gloss black. That is a big "IF". For now,red is it. Before I painted it red,I put a lot of thought into it. I usually don't rush into color decisions,or anything on the Sport for that matter. I take some time and think so I don't end up regretting it the next day. I usually take a week to make up my mind.....unless it's an idea I've had for some time....like the intake. I did decide...for now...not to remove the fins and give the FPV badge a place to be recessed. I may still do that,but later on. For now,I'm very happy with the look,and it's mine.

Again,thanks for the comments....keep them coming.If you think something doesn't belong, or looks "out of place",lay it on me.
