LOL!  BTW, everything! If you look close and hard enough on my car, you'll find hundreds of zapstraps in different sizes, shapes and lengths all over the place. |

I use them alot. I mean alot. Way better at holding high boost than those little stupid spring clamps. Keeps things neat and tidy and keeps things from flopping around. Black ones work great and are hidden.
If you put the clasp part away from the area of view its hard to see.
Oh, another tip, if you nip them off with side cutters, it leaves that little sharp part that will snag your skin next time you have to stuff your hand in. I cut them off right flush with a sharp razor blade.
