Personally, I don't like it either. I tried red tubing on my car and I hated the way it looked - I tore it off right after putting it on.

Hell No! Hide all the wires that you can, the colored loom looks like ***! It's scary to think anyone has to ask if this wil look good or not.

Colored tubing scares me!!!
Think about it.. look at professional show car and you will see they take great pains to HIDE wiring.. so why would you want to do something that draws attention to the wiring. The only justification for colored tubing is if you match the background color (red tubing on red painted background).. but the reds hardley ever match.
Best thing is to hide as much as possible and use black most places..
But hey, what do I know

Just my opinion, but think about what Steve said.
Also, if you are not in the financial position to really do an appearance mod that will make all eyes turn toward your car, stay away from the nickle and dime mods that only clutter things up and tell everyone some kid has been to work on this car. And the more of these 'colorful' mods that are done, the end result usually just gets more gawdy.
But, hey, it's YOUR car. Do what you want.

I like it Ive always had comments on it and never a bad one (Im sure untill now ) If you have to have the wires and crap, might as well make it look good.
This is my old setup. No matter what loom I tried, It always melted over the headers

I went through this "phase" not long after I bought my car (using red)... Thankfully, it didn't take long for me to realize my mistake and go back to stock.

I'll be in the minority and vote yes. Just don't over do it though. I agree to hide as many wires as you can but like the harness where our injector wires are run looks good highlighted. A little color here and there is a good thing. I get alot of complitments on mine as well.
