for sure. thanks guys.
update.
found a spot to mount the coils. i really like this spot since its hidden and its accessible by underneath the front bumper access underneath door.
psg side. i had to move the alarm horn a few inches.
drivers side. nice and clean
the cables came with number labels too. makes it easy to keep track of the coils.
now all i had to do is extend the coil harness with but connectors and some wire.
wrapped the wires in electrical tape.
this is how long they turned out to be.
and used wire loom to make it look clean and professional

never posted pics of the finished product.
here's a few pics/ vid of the car and the engine bay we took at my car clubs photo shoot. I also threw in a few other ones so u get an idea of how she sits all around for those of you who havent seen her in person.
by the way i did chrome the headlight brackets,but i guess my father in law must have toss one in the trash since it was wrapped in newspaper. I had to get it redone that's why its not in the pics. anyways enjoy...
and a vid.
