and what would happen if I painted it? It looks like it may have something to do with the air conditioner or the freon system. It loops back into the engine bay.

Thanks

 

Yep, several guys have painted theirs. I just haven't got around to painting mine yet.

 

About 2 days after buying my Evo X, I masked everything off with some newspaper and tape... then sprayed a quick blast of mat black paint on that sucker. Not sure why they had to position it right there but the shiny bit behind the black grill looked silly in my eyes and had to go!

 

i like mine the way it came!!

 

Its the power steering line.

 

Add that on my to-do-it myself list

 

Flat black industrial paint will fix the problem. I thought that was an a/c line..

 

Wire loom works as well, and you don't have to remove the bumper to do it.



I put it on the bottom portion only (the part you can see) so the top portion can still dissipate heat.

 

just paint it that what i did, but I did mine when my bumper was of when I installed my FMIC.

 

Thanks for the quick replies. Here is the result.

it doesnt even bother me

 

I covered mine in electrical tape and it's held up pretty well so far.

 

I painted mine flat black.

 

bad idea... that is there for cooling reason, leave it naked.

That was the common misconception, but its the power steering line.
