(A)The ones on each side of the air lid I simply moved them under the airlid(radiater support) and used the outside bolts to secure them.

(B)The one on the top of the fender well on the passenger side i rerouted into the area next to the battery where the wires run when doing the wire mod.

(C)The one on top of the drivers side fender I moved down to the lower ground that is on the front side of the fender by the fuse boxes.

One thing to watch out for is to make sure the screws don't come thru the fender well where the tire can hit it (my first mistake)

Someone did it several years ago...I just can't remember the username. I'd love to hear how to do it...I have a fuse box cover, but I would prefer them to be completely out-of-sight...

I sanded and repainted. My original battery had leaked and sprayed acid all over the passenger side wheel well so I was kind of forced into it cause the paint was lifting everywhere it got hit. I am happy I did it though it looks great.
