What size? I am looking to use this in the engine bay, but there are a lot of different sizes, so I thought I should ask you all which ones to get.


Thanks

I'd go with 2 sizes, one for the larger groups and one for the medium/smaller groups. That way, it doesn't look too busy. Ya know, they make that stuff in yellow!

I looked, and I think 2 sizes will be needed. Maybe 1 in. and 3/4 inch ones. I thought of yellow, but I want to look more classy and less "rice" , i thought yellow might be overkill . Still deciding though. Thanks

There can sometimes be a fine line between show car nice and, overkill rice.

AGREED.......hey do you know how hard/easy these wire looms are to put on. if they are "split" dot you just take the old black ones off and replace with these? And on the other stuff just slip the looms over them?

Coiled tubes that cover the ugly black ones in the engine bay. You replace those with colored or chrome tubes to make the engine bay look better.
All those wires that are taped together? you cover them with "wireloom" ...much better appearance.

Just not sure on the size tube (s) to get.

That sounds like a nice way to dress it up. I personally don't know how many wires are under there....yet!
