Oh it looks terrible. But all the fittings are done right, used teflon where I was supposed to. All wires will be soldered/shrink wrapped. Like I said, my braided lines are WAY too big, and I've NEVER popped my hood for anyone. There is more mud under my hood then most have on their whole truck. All go, no show, under the hood. Rest of the truck is a different story. I'm going to pickup some brake line at the end of the season, and I'll do a 'clean' install over winter on my extra manifold. Really just want to get this dialed in right now. It's easy enough to unscrew braided line, change jets, move solenoid location, etc right now.
But i threw out all that plastic crap the day I bought the truck. Didn't feel like moving those covers whenever I worked on truck. Someday I'd like to get a new intake (fast or ls6). I MIGHT get some fabricated valve covers, but that will be the extent of my 'show'.
