Default Wire mod with hidden PCM

I completed the wire mod a few months back thanks to the great sticky LSWON posted.

I recently found this coverfor the PCM that Speed Inc (sponsor) sells that can be color matched to your car. Hide the PCM so well it took me several attempts for it to even show up in the photos.

actually, Speed has tried to keep him unknown. i have met the guy once at a local show in Elmhurst,Il. he did a killer job on his own car with that mystic paint.....stunning! no regrets on mine, though it is a bit difficult to get the FRC's positioned correctly. i suggested they tell the guy to incorporate some kind of fuel rail clip for them like factory Vette's, but i don't know if they did or not.

later,
Dave

Did it fit ok with the hidden wires mod? I wasnt sure if having the wires go through the back of the shock tower would interfere with mounting the cover.

Not perfect but okay. I would recommend that you call them and ask if the
the hole facing the front of the car could be cut slightly larger.
