Pretty good, if you want to be super neat about the cable pattern you can get cable combs to properly orient them. Overall nothing wrong with what it is now.

Looks good, better than what i can usually manage... If you want it as best as you can get it, personally i wouldn't have cables crossing over each other (https://youtu.be/ecjVxAn3hkM?t=20)

It was tough, it took me hours to get where it now but I feel more can be done but I am all out of idea.

How is it stretching? It looks like you have it zip-tied together near the actual connectors. Though, that could just be the lighting tricking my eyes???
