I recommend that the left side is the easier side to start it off.. so here it is...

I recommend this side as it is thea easiest place to start

Below you need to remove your lights, im sure most know how, i have a different setup as some people..

Once i have removed the fender, i took the stock tape of and the tubes and basically have the wires seperated.

- There is grounding thing which has several wires connect to it grounding..
- Wires for the left lights, and indicator
- Wires for the Radiator Fan
- I had wires for my alarm system

What i did was group it up, i had to cut the wired to fit through the stock whole already placed which took awhile. i extended some ground wires so the taping up would be easier

Here is a pic of the grounding plug im talking about which connect all the grounding for lights, fan and some other stuff which i hid under the body of the car (not in fender)

Once done you can now see my result :
PS.. There was 2 wires i extended which was the grounding wire ONLY, others were alarm and fog light based :D

good work... look forward to seeing more...

good work mate, so do you have a picture of the engine bay before the tuck pointing out exactly which wires were re-located to the fender???

http://xposed.au.com/wiretuck/2.jpg
ie. where did all these come from? lol

[VTECACCORD]

Did you have to cut any wires ?

Did you solder any of them back together ?

Your asking for major headaches if you haven't soldered them.

[AsH_]

lookz like those wires are pretty complicated

[XP02ED]

wires aint that complicated. its just a rewire and extending one ground wire which goes to the ground terminal thingo.

When you actually see it you will know what i mean, not hard to figure out which wire goes where..

nope i didnt solder the wires, and yes i had to cut the wires so it will fit through the whole

Apexi, those wires came from left shock tower, normally hangs or clipped to a metal piece

I highly reccomend you solder if cutting any of those wires and testing for continuity.

Check the above link, btw a soldering iron and slder is $30 bucks at dick smith.

Heres a pic of my engine bay. I've done the right hand side of the bay but not the other.

Turns out well. took me a day to do that one side from start to finish. need to do the otherside next. Theres heaps on that side once you remove the air intake arm. i think the right hand side is hard cause you've got the air con to remove as well as the fuse box to relocate if you want to. My battery will be going eventually as well.

where did you end up pitting all your fuse box and things ?

edit : btw looks freakin awesome

Its behind the dash where the pollen filter and aircon core used to be.
