Default Best Wire loom color on a red 35th SS vert?

Just wondering what the best wire loom color would be on a red 2002 35th Anniv SS Convertible? If anyone has pics of theirs let me know.

red or grey/silver would be a nice accent color IMO

The problem is finding the silver or grey loom. I can't find any!

I say none! Hide it instead of showing it, a buddy of mine had blue on his mustang and that stuff looks tacky. I called his engine bay "The Pep Boys Special"

Second BLACK. Why would you want to accentuate or exaggerate ugly wires.

Keep em black or even better yet HIDE THEM!!!

The best color is no color at all. Hide them like
they said.

Same as most of the above...BLACK or HIDE THEM. Where I couldn't hide mine, choosing the wire connections that were relatively accessable (for ex. MAF, T-body area, etc) I used a black nylon braid. MUCH cleaner! Pics aren't up in sig yet though

Black should be the only color wire loom sold. Do NOT highlight wires.

Call me crazy, but I used red along the top of the passenger fender. I wasn't brave enough to relocate the wires, but I'm happy with how the red loom "blended" into the background anstuck out less than the black.




Any thoughts on this approach?

Nice Engine bay but I would change the color of your bellows to a red or just black. JMHO but everything else looks good.

The yellow bellows is just an accent to match the yellow Firehawk decal on red paint scheme elsewhere on the car. At one time, I also had FRC's on order that were to be red with the yellow Firehawk decal.
