Default Colored Spark plug wires, Cool or poser-ish?

What is everyone's opinion about those colored wires, do they look cool or just poser-ish? Not too long ago I bought some red Accel plug wires because I thought it was a good idea at the time. A friend recently said he didn't like the way they looked on my bike and now I'm having second thoughts about them. From what I've read on this forum it looks like most people are just running the stock black wires. I did not buy the red wires expecting a performance increase and only did it for the look. I know a lot of you are going to say who cares what anyone else thinks but I would like to know what you think. Thanks for your time.

If its an accent color i like it... Like a blacked out bike with red rims w/white wall tires and red plug wires. Somone one here has something like that, screen name slips my mind.

Cool if they match your theme and add to the overall look.

We all bought our bikes making decisions on the tins color, how much chrome was on the bike, the style of the pipes, the look of the A/C, where the license plate sits to make it visually appealing, & other countless decisions......picking the spark plug wire color is just one more decision.

And yes, who gives a rat's *** what the next guy thinks of your bike or theme.

I'm from the "less is more" side of things.

If you like it, go for it. If not, who cares. Cant please everyone, so just please yourself.

As long as you're happy with them, so what?

It also helps if they match your fingernail polish, but that's just me.

I think they look fine but I personally wouldn't spend money on them.

Thumbs down

Most of 'em I see, stick out like a sore di*k. There are a rare few that fit in with the bikes customization. To each his own!
