doesn't look bad at all, still needs more detail and cleanup work but its pretty good.

when you have the motor out that is the best time to work on the wire looms if you plan to do so.

Because everybody gets all huffy puffy when the word r<x>icer comes up. Now you're not allowed to say r<x>ice, r<x>icer, r<x>icey<x>, r<x>iced, r<x>iceburner.....

I think the engine bay looks great. Just clean up the wires a little bit. I like the red.

I don't see anything wrong with the engine bay. I have apple green, dark blue, and orange silicon hoses in my engine bay along with blue wire looms and painted blue parts. The hoses are different colors to distinguish between different sizes since silicon hoses don't come labeled. I got tired of see all black in the engine bay so I added some color so that when I spill some fluids or see fuids leaking, I can more easily identify what liquid it is and where it came from. What can I say, I like a variety of colors.

The colors make working on the engine a little more fun for me.

I'd certainly prefer it without all the red wire looming, but otherwise I like it.
