Being a professional installer I can say only one word...YIKES!

There are a couple of suggestions I have for you.

1. Run wires in places that are out of site. If it takes a longer wire run to go around things such as seats, gear shifts, center consoles, then do it. Run wires behind trim panels, under carpet (sometimes it's necessary to make a small slit with a razor blade in the carpet), etc.

2. Zip ties are very useful. Wires that run all run together can be managed better by being tied together. I don't have a picture of it, but on my Cobra 29 in my company car I have the coax, power and ground, and ext speaker wires zip tied together a few inches away from the radio.

3. Flex loom is another good way to keep wires together. In places where you have no choice but to expose the wire, flex loom works really good.

Another tip, if a thief can see it he can steal it. When I see wires like that one thing that pops into my mind "If the wiring isn't secure, then the equipment most likely isn't either".

you have GPS, a freq counter, a meter, and a radio in your field of view. Some overzealous lawman might want to make you pay for that :(

if money is tight right now then me and you are in the same boat im a student and work much a week, and only have so much to spend, i would say just do one at a time or just wait and do it all at the same time the distribution blocks only cost a whole 8$ at walmart. You can run all the wires you want to them.
