Not shave or tucked, but it is clean. What are some things I can do for free to clean up more clutter?

hide overflow bottle,
change the valve cover ground to black and move it to the backside of the valve cover
send all the wires for the headlights out on the backside of the fenders.

You can leave the fuse box too. Just take the abs fuse box positive and route it under the brace and beside the tower. Do the same for the headlights. On the drivers side. Run them under the mount if you don't want to go through the fender.

**** on the hoses, there getting replaced...plug's are being bought for the hole's, brake lines are getting repainted....everything that has over spray (including the mc) is getting scrubbed, re-sanded and painted satin black...
its a slow process, work 60 hour's a week, i work on it when i can
besides theres a zero mile d17y8 (d16 block d17 gut's) getting dropped in that bay, no way in hell is it going to be all ghetto....especially when its just getting started

BrandonRyan, I want to see more pics of how the coolant hoses route and how they looked once functioning. What about how you ran them up to that point? Looks really good!

I think it might defeat the purpose if he showed how he did every step.

I'm very curious to see how its setup myself, I thought that framerail was full of sandwiched metal??
honestly if hes concerned about it becoming a huge trend, he should remember he was one of the first and thats all that should really matter. Its being sold as a kit anyway is it not?

If it is not he should start marketing his setup as a kit for those interested. Slap his name on it and there would be no question where it came from 
I am not looking to jock his style, just interested to see how he done it. Thats all

I'm interested in the plate myself. It would make mounting my EWP much easier.
If I remember right he said on NWP it was made by AllinFab.
