First point of advice is don't paint it another color other than the car color. Wire tucking is nothing but re running what's already there. If you aren't good with wiring then I wouldn't attempt this yourself. Search on here for idea's, as there are plenty.

i agree with clokolawt, enough people are doing wire tucks now that it will be super easy to find answers to all your questions. Wire tucking is the easy part, ill send you some pics of how i did my set up. good luck brotha


p.s. black engine bays are tacky unless you have a muscle car lol

you know kpro is expensive right? no matter what?
Anyone can tuck an engine bay, but doing it to where it doesn't hurt your cars performance and looks good is the way you should be looking.

And relocation to trunk is not a good idea unless your using a dry-cell battery, or so I hear.
