So i did the wire mod.... What a pain in the a$$ thhis mod was.... i am still undecided if it was worth the trouble. It definatley looks 100x better but that metal is not the easiest thing to drill a whole in 
. I'll get off my soap box now.
Yea.... it was worth it
(i'll post pics up soon)

Damn man it aint that hard. First of all you only have to drill a hole in the back part of the wheel well (didnt know if you knew that or not) cuz the front part of the wires can be shoved down through the hole below. Anyway, i just started with a smaller bit and progressively went bigger. Then once u have it big enough, put a rubber grommet in there to protect the wires, then feed them through.

You can use a piece of 3/8 hose, sliced down the middle and fit onto the hole. I've heard of people super gluing it in place. I suppose up can use clear RTV.

I didn't want the massive hole, so I drilled a much smaller opening. Then I just lengthened all the wiring. Yes, it was a lot of work, but now I don't have that huge hole
