Paging Steve2000SS Steve, I was wanting to really clean up my engine bay and would want to start off by hiding all the wires I can, esp. those ugly ones on both shock tower braces, lol. Ne how, do u have a step-by-step guide in doing these and other "hidden" wire mods? If so, please post a link if u can,
Thanx in advance, Mikie

Re: Paging Steve2000SS Here's hide the hose: No not that hose!
The ugly Air Tube that runs along the driverside fenderwell. After being inspired by our Resident Mod Psychos, Rob and Steve, I descided to tackle hiding the air hose.
It wasn't that hard, just tedious cutting and mating all the peices of hose to get the right shape, and to minimise the conflicts with the black plastic fender liner. Here's the end result! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I had already hidden the little air filter for the air pump, although the location is not very good if it ever rains, since the water can get to the filter through the driving light. But my car doesn't ever see rain, so I have no worries. The left over piece of hose was cut up to elongate the remaing hose. I used a dremel with a carbide cutting tip to cut the odd shaped hole in the fender well, once satified with the size hole, I touched up all the edges with sand paper and red paint to match the car. Once dry, fed the hose though the fender and spliced it (4 cuts) together with the main hose under the cowl. I strapped the hose and cable to the underside of the fenderwell with a zip tie and a self tapping screw. Getting the hose in just the right position so that the fender liner will go back in is tricky, but it all fits!

Enjoy, And thanks to Steve, Rob and Todd for the inspiration! If you descide to tackle this project yourself, I claim no responcibility for your outcome.
