EWW. I hate tacky bright colored wire loom. It's such a ricer mod. Makes it look like a can of silly string exploded under your hood! It's REAL hard to make colored wire loom like tasteful on a stock car. If you have a custom you can run the wires where you want and make it look good.

It's called wire loom or convolute tubing and it looks really tacky if it is anything except black.

Please don't use colored loom. It really makes the engine bay look horribly busy and disorganized.

Why would you want to draw attention to a mess of wires?
