gave some thought to this, but there is not much to tuck on this motor. the harness runs across the front of the motor and is hidden by the engine cover. No Harness on the drivers side of the car. In my honest opinion it is a waste of time on this car, but if you do it take pics I would be curious how you could improve upon the factory.

Unless you have nixed most of the creature comforts there really isnt much you can do.

A wire tuck would be a good idea on this car.

The wire harness shows and is real thick too. There's always room for improvement when it comes to wire tucking.

hehehe I know man, I'm just playin.

On a related topic, what about changing the color of the wiring harness. Any opinions on what's riced out and what actually looks clean? I realize that even though ALOT of the wiring harness is wrapped in electrical tape, re-wrapping that with red electrical tape might look pretty cheese-dick...
