Agreed. Pretty clean too. Have you considered trying to hid the wire completly?

Did you have to extend the wires of that VAFC harness? When i had my VAFC i dont remember the wires being long enough to extend from the cieling to the ecu...but i could be wrong (i never really measured, just going by what i remember)

that's as much as i can hide it... it's under the a-pillar too.

and yeah, the wire is long enough for htat, plus about a foot of slack.

I have mine (AVC-R) in the same place. The thing i like about that place is that most people dont even notice it or think its like one of those compus/temp gauge things like what they have in minivans

mine is in the same place too.....another cool thing is if you are standing next to the car looking in you wont see it unless you crouch down and look up. I can also flip it up if I dont want anybody driving behind me to see it (which I may need to start doing after reading new threads everyday about theives )

AztecEJ's spot is great IMO. There's no way you would even notic that unless you bent all the way down. It looks really clean too.

no pic yet but since i got a new head unit for my stereoin my 96 ex, I put it right in front of the cd player (which is seperate from the head unit) when it's warmer I'm gonna yank the useless CDplayer and inlay it down there. For security you can just open your cup holder lid and it covers it. (Hard to visualize but quite simple and clean.

pretty much there is only a slight difference, but it's not a problem for me. I like it cause most people can't even tell it's there, until now
