I did mine, it was easy and did a nice touch to the engine bay.

You have to disconnect the battery, take out the wheel well cover,disconnect the wire harness, re route the grounds on the passenger side strut tower under the wheel wheel. I used a 1 3/4 bi metal hole saw so i could fit the harness through the hole you have to cut. Cut a hole in the back of the strut tower, route the harness throught the hole, re connect the wires. I used electrical tape to wrap mine up, I used the existing clips on the harness and snapped those in place throught the two holes in the strut tower.

It took me about a hour and a half to do, I wanted to make sure I drilled the hole in the right spot the first time around. Now if I were to do it again, I could proabably have it done in a hour.

The tools I used were, a 1 3/4 Bi metal hole saw, wire cutters for electrical tape and zip ties, zip ties, electrical tape, a drill.
The only real thing you might have to buy is the hole saw and a 1 3/4 rubber grommet.

I havent but I would also like to do this, anyone have any info, or ideas???
The way the fuel line runs fron the driver strut tower, it could easily go on top of the back of the intake and then to the front of the car.
