Default Hood latch cable relocation pic

I know its nothing new, same pic we have seen 1000 times but I was happy with the turnout so...

Here is the most recent mod, relocated the hood latch cable and took off those ugly stickers.

I think it looks much better now

Looks good! Now you just need to relocate the ground and do the wire mod!

There is a small hole behind the wheel well. Drill it out a little bigger. The cable runs between the wheel well and the black plastic guard in the wheel well. Comes out by all the fuses.

Essentially the same thing. But you just need a drill bit. There is already a tiny hole on your car. Just drill it bigger and run the wire through!

I did not drill anything on mine. I just ran it under the master cyl and around the wheel well next to the main wire harness.
