Thanks for all the comments guys... I was checking it out today and it really came out clean.
Yeah, before I knew it Viet was removing and unwrapping all the wiring harnesses. We had to extend a few wires because of where the wires are running, but it made for a super clean install.
That's a part I made to hide the main engine harness, front of the lower plenum, etc. I made it because the main engine harness looks awful, and I never planned on doing a wire tuck. Viet and Marty both swear that the side harnesses were the hard part... but damn, I like my little shield thing 
All the ARC catch cans come with that same clear hose... I just got some Earl's 350 series black braided hose, and some fittings for the end.
Overall I think the wire tuck wasn't very difficult, but there is a potential for disaster if you make a mistake. I think if I had to do this alone it would take at least a day per side... but with this group we knocked it out. Viet was working on the harnesses, Marty was pulling off the fenders, Kurtis came by for quality control, I was soldering... things went pretty quick.
