JDM as f*ck!

Obviously Type R wheels. Whole fuckin car is JDM!

[crazymikey]

Painted my battery tie down and the fuse block cover purple. They look pretty sweet. No pics cuz it's dark out.

Also, instead of doing an actual wire tuck, I began re-routing some of the existing wire harnesses, plugs and modules. Already looking cleaner and less cluttered.

Any pics of the updated bay? I did the same thing as in rewiring instead of a wire tuck and I think it looks good! I have barely any wires even noticeable around my shock towers

[crazymikey]

^ thats exactly what I'm doing. Cleaning up around the shock towers because they look so cluttered with everything bolted to them and running across,over and around them.

I also have the short ram and no cruise control.

I guess I can go snap a pic in the dark and see how it comes out.

Here is a quick before and after of mine. I'm pretty sure yours will look similar.

[crazymikey]

Alright, well here's a couple pics then. I was working in the dark when I was doing it, so tomorrow or this weekend I'll play around a lot more with it. This weekend the weather is supposed to be really nice, so I'll be out getting a ton of work done that I've been wanting to do lately.

[cuate01221]

I like how you relocated the little box on the left side onto the side of the shock tower. Looks like that will be my next little mod for a cleaner look

It looks nice though! So clean!

[crazymikey]

Yeah I hate that stupid box. Right now it's just sitting there kinda jammed between the PS resevoir and the strut tower. I think I'll stick it down with some double sided tape like an HID ballast. I wanted to get that box out of the way. I was able to reroute the wire harnesses too. If you notice, the main wire harness now runs up the side of the fender rather than up and over the strut tower.

She still needs a good clean, but this weekend I'm gonna go HAM on it.

I also need to tuck the block heater wire, but I need to take off the bumper and remove the battery to get it out because of the way it's routed through the rad support.

Also, the wire harness on the pass side that runs along the side of the fender and infront of the strut tower, I'd like to relocate that.

Yours looks much tidier too! Nice work!

[Straight Success]

Mikey,

Just checkin' up on the car that's all. Looking good.

[crazymikey]

Thanks man. Would look better with those TLs.

[cuate01221]

Mine may look tidier but your's is actually clipped in haha Mine is just held by a bunch of zip ties. One of these days I will actually remove the fenders and do an actual wire tuck though.

Man everybody painting their valve cover purple these days lol.
