Why? I think they look really good. But everyone has a different opinion.

I didn't say they don't look great, but on a daily driven car, I don't think it's worth it.
appearance is only half the battle IMO, I mod for functionality too, and its harder to work on if you gotta go digging for wires everywhere BUT the engine bay... 'woah cool, I can't see any wires in my engine bay!... Woah crap, I can't see the road because my head/taillights don't work!' or 'my car was acting up because I got dirt in my injector box connector' I'm not picking on anyone, but sacrificing reliability for appearance is pointless in my opinion. If you guys are willing to make that trade off, then more power to you, but I can't make it balence out in my mind.

that said, I am still planning a tuck, but I plan on leaving all of the engine wiring and connectors inside the engine bay for accessability. plus, a little mess makes better camoflauge.

If it is done right then you won't have problems.

Done right consists of soldering and shrink wrapping. Thats all there is to it.
