    I'm not a big fan of engine dress up, but I would like my engine bay to be a bit less cluttered. After installing gauges, two electric water pumps, Homelink mirror, GT500 fuel pump, and raptor shift light, I'm left with an enormous mess of wires, yards of split loom tubing, adapters, fuses, and relays.

    There seem to be quite a few adapters that could be eliminated, particularly the ones that only have 1-3 wires. The ones I speak of are near the front passenger side valve cover.

    Has anyone else fabricated some brackets to mount the mass of relays, or removed adapters, maybe spliced and lengthened some wires to move things around?

    If so, I'd like to see a few ideas.

    I know your battle. On my V-6 I tried to integrate some of the run lengths after shielding them separately and then rerouting them and wrapping them in the red wrap. :D Not the best picture, but tidier than stock. :nice:

    (P.S. ignore the MustangSource logo on the pic. After my laptop crashed I could only recover what I had from the site and since they are all branded with their logo, it is what it is. :rlaugh: )

    Took me a while to find. But, yeah, here are a couple more. I believe that the color wire loom is acceptable so long as it does not stand out more than rest of the engine compartment. :rlaugh: A little more dirty than before. It was November last year.

    The color loom all started when I added the fog lamps and needed someplace to tuck the lengths of wire from the relay and grounding wires.
