Done working under my hood for now check this link, did the !wire mod, relocated hood latch, hid the traction control, and the AIR was already deleted.

yes, bigdaddybry is right. I had to remove the ECU and it is behind there. It fit just fine. I need to clean up the throttle cables, they look really bad in that pic, i didnt notice that before.
theres a how to in the appearance od section, but its burried now. go back a few pages and youll find it.
also notice the optima red top. i felt it fit in better with the car and engine bay.

thanks guys.
the relocated hood latch means i took the hoot latch cable from the right side of the engine bay and hid it, similarly to how i hid the ECU wires.
Yes I do spend lots of time under my hood. I still dont feel like this car has the appeal that my last car did under the hood. Yes, its a way better car and way better engine, but that other engine bay looked so nice and got such attention:

and anyone who wants help doing this stuff, feel free to ask. Ive been known to offer to physically help (altho nothing has happened yet).
For the TCS relocation i bought some wire that matches the OEM wire and ive got plenty left over.

no doubt it would look cleaner, but then i would have to paint under there, and right now im not interested in spending a lot of money on that. I wanted to make it look as clean as possible without spending much money, and my money is going towards performance and other enhancements (I want a cowl hood).
