It works *and* looks pretty -- bonus.

I should say I showed the car to my mechanic, Otto Hotz at
EuroOttoSports and he gave me a thumbs down on the crimped
connections. Geez. I thought crimps were good.

If you used a good ratcheting crimp tool, then you shouldn't
have a problem (just count the number of soldered joints on
the factory wiring). I got a decent crimp tool from MCM:

I'd be more concerned with the exposed butt connectors.
If you didn't put heat shrink tubing on them, you might
want to add some electrical tape to help keep moisture out.
