Since the pictures are on Import Tuner's site I figured I'd finally post it here. Questions, comments, and criticism welcome because sometimes that's the only way to see your own mistakes!

Your bay looks amazing! I dont like the totally shaved look, but there is a place and a time, and it looks very very good!

1 thing... see the check valve?? Dremmel off the ridge and put heatshrink over it. Wallah its gone.
Or get the hose that has the check valve inside it. On my old crx I put the woven black fuel line, and use the method above, worked great. Oh, and you asked about my crx... gunna pick it up in a bit, doing some more wiring right now for the fuse panel setup.

Is it okay to take apart a prop valve? i want to remove the bracket on it, but unsure if the spring inside is set at a certain point, or if it can just be all bolted back together??

beautiful bays keep popping up in here. hope to make it in soon

What is everyone doing with their grounds?
i'm integrating mine with the engine harness and will have a bolt-up area behind the firewall...
If changing the length, should i get thicker gage wire?

Thanks for the hints, Ryan. I never thought about getting rid of the ridge and that's a slick way to do it. I can't us an EK one because I had to flip each end around in order to use these hoses. I don't think a 1 piece hose/valve would work but your idea just might!

I noticed that aswell.
I was going to recommend getting a hose from a 96-00 Civic because their check valve is built inside the tube. My Si has a red check valve inside the hose and I just used that. Just gotta make sure it flows the right way
Very nice bay for sure.

*edit*. I just reread what you said. DOH!
