id like to see a more detailed description of what you did. it looks great, but you should post up the lengths of the wire, pictures of connecting points, cable routing, and just basic instructions. it is a diy after all, and i cant really do it myself unless i know wtf is going on / the concept of grounding, which i dont.
you did a great job though, looks great.

For anyone still interested in doing this mod, 4 gauge colored power cable can be found on this site for about $1.40 per foot. For the 10 feet you'll need it only comes up to $14.00 plus $5.00 in shipping.

Done Deal DR: I bought the "Kolossus Fleks Kable" 4 Gauge Blue to match my Daytona Blue Z. In the description it tells you that it can handle up to 105 degrees C or 221 degrees F. That is perfect for the engine bay of a car.
Description: Kolossus Fleks Kable 4 Gauge Blue Power Wire features 2058 Tinned Strands of Pure Oxygen Free Copper and a new UltraFlex Matte PVC Jacket. Our new jacket allows for improved flexibility and maintains exceptional resistance to abrasion, oil, and extreme temperatures (-40 to 105 C). Capable of loads up to 150A. This product can be used in Marine applications. Price is per one foot.
Then I just followed the guide at Z-extreme after I bought a few parts from Home Depot.
