Yeah, I've been thinking about this for a while, Robby. A wire tuck of the main cable harneses would definitely clean up our engine bays... just not sure if there's enough slack to make it happen without major reworking of the wire harness... I plan to get the GT Spec fender braces in a month or two and will try tucking my wires while I've got the fenders off and see if it's possible.

Let me know how it goes. If you can manage to tuck ANY wires, i want to do it too. But i know of the wires dont have enough slack to work with.

Yup, very true! I'm pretty **** about things anyway, wether or not it's my car I'm working on.

We'll figure it out, Robby... Like Mike said, it's a lot of trial an error, especially on the HR motors, since I don't think it's been done yet.

Its pretty easy, just time consuming.

I managed to do all 3 major lines without cutting a single wire.

A wire tuck is not terribly difficult, just very time-consuming. Detail is important if you really want the finished result to look really clean. That involves a bit more extending/rerouting, sleeving, and painting than I've seen in many of the most recent tucks I've seen.

Sounds good, Monard. That will be my next project once I get the coil-overs installed.
