!WIRE MOD... Before and After PICS
!WIRE MOD... Before and After PICS I finally got around to doing the wire mod. I used the tutorial in the sticky at the to of this index. I went ahead and used the 1-3/4" hole saw. I couldn't find a grommet that big so I used a 1-3/4" plastic computer desk grommet instead. It worked quite well. I epoxied it in. I was going to use the cap also, but it fell behind the PCM to be lost forever.
I tried the Velcro but it didnt work. The two sides wouldnt stick to each other. I went ahead and used a 1/4"-20 bolt that I put in the middle of the three holes. I then zip-tied the wire bundle to this bolt. I relocated my grounding spot to the metal thing in the front using a nice new grounding nut.
It definitly cleans up the engine bay nicely. I am going to have to clean up the rest now so it all looks good!!!

yeah he didnt do the wire mod right......
Ya, i agree it definately looks really good. I just finished this mod on my car also.
I think you should take it the extra step, and polish all the ac stuff. I did mine with just some mothers polish and it made a world of difference. That stuff shines pretty good. I did the canister, and the lines etc.
!Wire mod was one of the best underhood mods i did on my car.
