Wire Loom, need opinions from Pics

I put some green wire loom under the hood today to match the stuff I painted, but I need some advice on how it looks because I cannot decide.

I put some on some hoses that don't get hot, and I wraped the rest on various wires(hard to find a lot to wrap on 5.5 gen)

Please tell me what you think, Yay, Nay, Total crap, whatever. You won't hurt my feelings, I just want honest answers whether to keep it or remove it and scrap this idea.

Here are the Pics:

Idk man...that's a pretty bold green. Should have sprayed it high gloss black or maybe red...just my opinion. Hmm, maybe even a dark blue.

Well, I definately liked it without the wire loom(green is definately what I'm going with).

I just cannot decide whether the wire loom makes it look tacky and ricey, or if it gives it more color.

Hey if you're going that intense with such a green, might as well go all out.

How many feet of each size did you use? I'm looking to do my black 2003 with blue. Just wondering if a kit I saw on ebay will be enough to do everything.

it would look much better if you would have chosen a different color.

i think its pretty damn creative to tell you the truth..green looks kinda...different...draws alot of attention to an engine bay. God Forbid a cop pulls you over and tell you to pop the hood.

The (alien) green engine cover is somewhat ok. The (alien) green looms seems overkill. Come to think of it, the whole bay looks tacky with the painted fluid reservoirs and the painted optima(?) battery + battery cradle.

The idea of dressing up your engine bay is a + But what were you skokin when you chose the color and where can I get some? lol That's one ricey looking engine bay, but to each it's own. If you like the color don't worry about what anyone has to say including myself. I give you a thumbs up for creativity. Mod on brother!!!
