Anybody running aftermarket wire looms?
I was cruising on Summit's site and they have some pretty cool but pretty pricey billet wire loom sets. The vertical style ones are appealing but I'm not sure if the stock valve covers are tall enough. I'd like to clean up my wires a bit and have tried some different Autozone style fixes in the past that weren't too impressive.
Anybody had anything they've tried and liked? Pictures?

Wow, been a few years Mav
I did a lot of searching before I settled on a set. I liked the Roush Racing versions, but just about the time I was going to pull the trigger, I found another company with smooth billet independent looms that use allen-head bolts that are recessed. I'll see if I can dig up the company name.....ah, here it is:
www.autotrendefi.com
Ran about $215 for the ones I purchased. Here's a pic from their site:

2 bills for wire looms is insane but they are very cool.

Here are the ones I am running currently on mine. After seeing the ones Ryan posted these just became temporary  . They are OK but I do like the vertical independent looms better. Much cleaner, less cluttered look.

Mark, that is a great looking motor! I dig the black Edelbrock components!

Wow!
I like the vertical looms as well, but surely there are some made from another material (like black plastic) that would be less expensive.

I'm not seeing applications on any of these for a Cummins mill. And those R&M Specialties give you the option of color on not only the looms but the brackets that bolt to the head!

Thanks for the compliments everyone. Ryan- with the billet pullies/oil filler cap as well as the stainless accesories I figured the black would be a nice way to provide more contrast. I'm planning on getting some of your overflow and washer tanks as well so the amount of aluminum under the hood is only going to go up. Along with the aluminum radiator that amounts to a lot of silver/aluminum/stainless under the hood  .
