crimp electrical connectors Options

I bought some crimp on electrical conectors from my FLAPS. First when they are installed they look like crap. Second if I pull them apart from say a male spade the most likely fall off. I thought about soldering them but to pull a soldering gun out to the car or under it sucks. are there any better types. Also I have to replace some wires, can get solid colors to match, what can I use to make the stripes that will last so the wires match the wirind diagram for future owners.

Ruddyboys, PM Jeff Blowsby for the best advice. He manufactures new wiring harnesses for the 914. Otherwise, go to the local box hardware store and look at their electrical supply. You can color match the connectors with an assortment of Sharpies. Pick up some dielectric grease to protect the connections. Also look for liquid electrical tape. Very helpful in the connections prone to water exposure.
