Where to get a Kit to hide and fancy up the wiring ?
Looking for those kits with several feet of wiring 'hoses' (loom) in different colors and sizes to hide wires/hoses in that also have those T 'junctions' so you can bundle and cross wires.
Not sure how such a kit is normally called, wanted to look on Ebay but i found 1 kit so far so i'm probably searching with the wrong name.
Want to clear that harness and several hoses up but i haven't been able to find a speed shop yet that has such a kit.
Looking at Thunder's website but wasn't able to find one.
Specific/Direct URL's will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Well actually both. Mainly changing the color of the factory loom but also combining some wires into less looms in order to have less clutter and a cleaner look.
Having a seperate loom for every wire soemtimes makes it very messy, even when colored.
I have seen those kits with junctions that allows wires to cross or meet and looks very professional, cannot recall where i've seen that kit nor know the proper name for these items .....
Pictures, URl's of modified enginebays for inspiration are always welcome !

Here's a piece of advice...
You might want to emphasize and put focus on the engine, not the clutter like wires. Making them bright red or yellow won't hide them, it will only make the engine bay look confusing.
Leave the wires black, put the emphasis on the powerplant.

The powerplant is taken care of, performance wise aswell as 'fashion' wise.
The engine harness and all other wires however show it's age and evenhough black isn't very flamboyant it does look messy to me and i've seen several people doing a great job with those kit to combine wires into less looms and adding a bit of flavor to it using a different color.
That's exactly what i'm trying to achieve but i have a hard time finding those kits.
It is ofcourse all a matter of personal taste, like anything in life.
