Very Nice!!!

I kinda wish I went that route also. I did the basic and am trying to hide the wires now with a plastic cover.

The cover still needs final finishing and painting

Ok guys, just loaded up more pics on facebook, still working on posting here. Still not done yet. I still need the extra wire for the rest of the relocation but seems to be coming together nice. If you have internet you should be able to see the pics on the facebook link. You don't need facebook to check them out.

UPDATED: I have posted some of the pics down below also.

I relocated my fuse blocks to under my steering wheel. No AC delete required! Next I gotta look into moving my PCM. Seems like it'll be more of a pain than the fuse blocks. I can say for sure tho that it looks 1000x better under the hood without the battery, fuse blocks and passenger wire harness.

There are 100 ways to do the relocation. It all depends on how you really want to do it, and how much you trust your self messing with all the wires. I seen a few with it under the steering wheel. I already deleted the AC so it just looked like a lot less work then trying to make it all fit under the steering wheel. After all said and done I should be able to just open the glove box to get to the fuse boxes. I'm still working on doing the battery relocation also, but I still need to order the kit. It's only my weekend car now so AC or heat really don't matter to me. That's what I have a jacket or windows for..lol

im not sure if why you wouldn't relocate the harness through the fenderwell on the DS. you went through all the trouble to cut and extend wires, why IMO half *** it by leaving the harness leads running like that and just not even recessing the blocks all the way below. Its all personal preference but I would have made that all smooth and flat if I was cutting and extending all of those wires.

What in the world are you talking about? I have a feeling you are talking about the pics in black above. There is two different cars on here. I think you have them mixed up.

Yea, my bad guys. Just noticed they are not working. They were the other day, I don't know what could have happened. They are the same pics I have in the links on the first page. Let me know if you have a problem with them also. Thanks for checking it out, Have not had much time to work on it in the past few weeks due to work. Hoping to get back to it soon.
