Default Just did my wire tuck. What do you guys think?

Well to get things started, i was really bored with some time of my hands. I did the drivers side wire harness and ran it through the fenderwell. Planning on doing the passenger side around next week. Everything was pretty much straight-forward. I DID NOT extend any wires.
Well lets get on to the pictures.
Heres what i had to start out with:

Sorry i didnt have any before pictures taken, after i had everything off i relialized that i should take some pictuers.

I have also already removed the windshield wiper tank so it kinda free'd up alot of space on the fender/bumper to work with.

Heres a pic of the first wires pulled through.

Nice pic of my tein dampner and the driver harness being pulled.

Stuff just being in the yard.

Some more of the harness being ran in the fender.


Finally coming together!@!


Some of my mess inside the firewall lol, But i wrapped it and tucked it under the dash.

Wire tuck is complete!

I had also tucked the wires for my windshield wipers and brake fluid sensor, and ran it just like the harness.


The finished product. Sorry for the quailty, there was a lot of mist floating in the air. It was really foggy.





Well i hope you guys enjoyed looking at the pictures.
Leave comments, flamers welcomed

you need to put some insulation over the metal where the wires pull through. That metal will wear through the wires...

I too was going to suggest this.

Buy some corrugated wire loom and place it over the wire harnesses and make sure it secured well. You also might want to add some double sidsed tape, or cut some hose and wrap it around the sharp edged area of that square hole the wires are running through.

I removed it completely. The only thing that remains is the plug for the fluid motor.
I have it for sale along with some other stuff here:http://hondamarketplace.com/zerothread?id=2136108
