I made my own OVC wire looms at work on a Mill and Water-Jet machining center. They are made of Teflon.

Here are some pics of my intake manifold that I engraved PONTIAC on. I milled the fins off, engraved it, and then polished it. I like the way it turned out. My intake and valve covers are also painted the same color of the cars exterior. I'm looking at a set of polished aluminum valve covers next.
