Default Finally did it
Everybody has been on me to do this mod, I didn't want to drill a hole well I finally did the wire mod and I have to admit looks a lot better for sure. Also moved the ground stud that was up on the fender in plain sight. One more thing completed now as I am still prepping for the WinterNat. Took couple hours taken my time. No real issues to do.

BEFORE

AFTER

No question it looks with the !wire mod, but am I the only one who likes mechanical looking engine bays with all the wires and hoses?

Where do the wires go after you put them through your drilled hole? Are they inside the fender or are they exposed underneath?

Looks really clean, I really should do this while the car is put away for the winter, just not today since it's -15 out.

Well I don't particularly like the wires,but I really don't like the holes that are left behind.It looks like incomplete project to me.I'm not gonna do mine till I can fill the holes and repaint. I've also seen plenty of stock engine bays around.So your not alone.
