Default My Most Recent Wire Tuck Job

You can see from the pics that I've done a few other wire tuck jobs previous to this. But this is the most recent one. You won't see the left side really since it's a stock box and blocks most of the view of other stuff. I'll be going back to SRI though.

So, I decided to try something a little different. With **special thanks to BlackHope** (From ClubCivic), I was able to accomplish what I accomplished today :lol:.

So I started off with getting rid of those fugly foglights so the red and white wire weren't in my engine bay anymore:



--------------

I picked this up from Home Depot:


^^ See where I'm going?

--------------

Here's after about an hours worth of work (including foglight delete):


Wait a minute??? The windshield washer fluid tank is still there but where's the hose?!?!

--------------

Ooohhhh!! There it is!!






^^Used the OEM piece from the factory washer fluid tubing :lol:

---------------

So does the washer assembly still work????


^^ You betcha!

--------------

And JUST as I finished putting my front bumper and grill on, I had some friendly company to cheer me on as they passed:


--------------

Overall, I am VERY pleased with how this came out. Both the foglight delete and washer fluid tubing re-route cleaned up the driver side TONS.

I also bought cleare tubing to replace the black rubber one running from the radiator to the resevoir but it turns out it's just a SMIDGE too small so I have to go back and buy the next size up. Another thing I bought was a big can of flat black rustoleum. Tomorrow, I'm gonna hit up the engine bay with a metal brush, sandpaper, and the flat black can and fix some rust. Also will change the radiator hose.

:thumbs up

sure you got rid of the washer hose in the engine bay but it still looks real retarded hanging from the hood like christmas lights hanging off the tree. if you're real good youd find a way to stick it in the hood... ie: drill a hole in the corner and run the hose through the inner part of the hood. i dont know if there would be anything blocking the hose from going through the seemingly open area but its worth a shot.

Seriously. You should know better with a thread title like that. I expected to see a wire tuck, not a clean-up.

Why are you on Honda-Tech you piece of ****?, He went to alot of trouble to do this and post pics, people like you need to take your negativity elsewhere, especially when it is not deserved.

not only it looks better the clear hose is not make to withstand the heat, and those gardening tee will melt shut after a while.
