Default Performing a wire tuck...

Any tips on this before I try it out myself? I want to do it so my engine back looks cleaner.

1993 Civic EX, D16Z6 Engine <--- If that helps at all.

I've been trying to find a decent tutorial to go off of but I can't seem to find anything dependable.

Thanks in advance.

Hmmm... To me, that thread looks like a crapload of pictures of people who have ALREADY done it... and a crapload of information that is in no way organized at all.

Not exactly a tutorial in my opinion because it's all jumbled together and alot of the information is VERY vague.

Again, just in my opinion.

well figure out what exactly you want to tuck first, then ask specific questions in that forum. a lot of people will chime in with suggestions. heres a picture for reference of what your looking to do.

pay someone to do it, or just start hiding wires, not that hard... read the thread you cant expect someone to tell you how to do it all

If you are looking for a step by step manual of how to tuck your bay you're going to be fairly hard pressed I think. Most of the people that do this are on a higher skill level and dont really need that. Not saying its not possible to do for somebody that hasn't done much, just that its much easier if you understand what you are doing. Its more common sense at that point, just a matter of how you can hide it.

Is your car an abs model? If so you are going to have a much harder time making the bay look worth a ****.

yeah you really just have to be creative with whatever you are doing. there is no single way to do it. they all involve running wires through the fenders but the possibilities are endless. figure out what exactly you want to tuck and work from there on the "HOW" aspect.
