Invisible wiring? how to?

[esenior]

Did someone ask for pictures?

For my project, I used braided stainless sleeving from JEGS to hide my wires. Just make sure that the wires are well protected. I used vinyl wrap around the wires first, then covered with the braided stainless, and then used a short piece of shrink wrap at each end of the braided sleeve to give it a finished look. Here's the driver's side in progress:


I ran my main harness through a billet firewall port (B16) directly behind the motor as low as I could. Would be more hidden if you routed them through the tunnel, but in my case, there wasn't enough room between the tunnel and the scattershield. You can barely see the port behind the fuel line:


Wires to accessories (alternator, AC, etc.) are run through braided along the edge of the intake. Most people don't even notice them. I also ran the wires underneath my accessory brackets and used a small line clamp to hold them in place.

For wiring to the front end (headlights, parking lights, horns, electric fans, etc.), I ran my wiring through the kick panel and through the firewall under the fender. I mounted breakers and relays on a block off plate under the fenders. I also hid my HID ballasts and my dryer there. To get to parking lights and to the driver's side, I ran a harness up under the lower cowl panel.


For my hoses, I also ran them under the fenders and put bulkheads on my inner fenders up near the core support. Passenger side has my heater and AC hoses and the driver's side has the brake lines as well as the hoses from my power steering box.

Bulkheads on the firewall:


Here's some early pictures during mock-up:






Here's a couple of current pics:




I understand what others are saying about easy of access, but if you are going for the look, you may have to make some sacrifices. I'm not saying form over function, just a balance of form and function. It all depends on what your own goal is.
