Default ej8... just did wire tuck

so this is my first time posting my car up. its a 98 ex with a gsr motor, 2000 si front conversion, si interior. i just did my first wire tuck ever and im pretty satisfied with how it turned out. in the next couple weeks im pulling the motor out and shaving all of the wholes and repainting the bay. i also just picked up a set of polished si's today. let me know what you guys think.



here are some new pics since this thread is back from the dead. lol

take the si emblem off

looks clean and i think it'll look better with the polished si's rather the painted ones

those are the polished ones they just need to be cleaned up a little. the lighting makes them look gunmetal for some reason.

When you do that where do you put everything? How long did that take? Was it a easy job?

Looks pretty nice. I suggest better quality pictures and a wash, to make your car look better. Other than that. Nice job.

this took me about 2 days. i put the battery in the trunk, the fuse box in the glove box, and ran the headlight harness threw the fenders. i only had to extend one harness with about 10 wires in it. its not an easy job to do unless you have experience doing this kind of stuff.
