Shane you could have just bought street glow and turned it upside down under your car so it shined up through the engine bay. DUH.


Hahaha just kidding nice work man I never even thought of doing that. Looks good now go to a chiropractor because your back has got to be hating you.

Clearly you can tell that I don't go down there too often.

On another note, isn't it pretty hot under the plenum? Enough to melt wires and what-not?

^No, i mean they shouldn't get any more hot than they did before the tuck, just all the wire are more together rather than all over the place. I'm still utilizing all the stock sleeves used to protect the wires just retaped.

If you wanted to be safe about the wiring, you could always put techflex arount the wires. It's not really too late, just gotta unbolt and rebolt the ring terminal back on. IMHO, techflex looks SOOOO much better than plastic wire loom. You can get it in a variety of colors and it serves the same purpose.

Only downside is that if you want the shiny look, you wont have that. I think Fry's might have some, but I know you can find it on www.partsexpress.com or even on eBay. But if you have no issues at all now, then it's really not necessary.

Using TechFlex is a LOT more work. That is, unless you use the type that is similar to split-loom tubing. The normal TechFlex stuff (FLEXOPET) is not split and requires that you de-pin all of the plugs on a given section of the harness that you are trying to sleeve. Sleeving is part of the process in a "complete" wire tuck and is a lot of work. Final appearance is much better as donpisto mentioned.
