Making at least most of the wires in the engine bay not visible.

yea what he said. makes it so u only see the wires you have to see. moving all the electrical wires etc somewhere so they arent as visible. gives it a nicer cleaner look. i just dont know how to do it =P

id rather not use a spare harness nor would i want to cut or stretch anything. perhaps just hiding the wires is what im looking for.

To do it how i think your talking about, you have to cut the wires and harness up, thats the only way to move them...

If you don't want to see them, just yank them out. Think of it as hardcore weigh reduction.

i did alot of research on the wire tuck, you cant really do a good one with out unplugging, rerouting, and extending some wires, which In my opinion isnt worth it. There's alot of threads with pictures archived on HT.
