tips? Patience, and dont use butt connectors. Solder them only, and is the motor in the car? Itll be a billion times easier if the motors not in yet(Im assuming you're doing a swap and thought of it).

also go to an audio store and get black loom, when you re-route things it obviously wont be in the stock loom and you dont want wires just hanging around. That way down the road if you need to pull the harness you're not snaking loose wires around things.

You have to have some creativity. Plan out what you are going to do. Trace out the wire harness now to see where everything goes and then determine where you can hide it.

There will be splicing and soldering involved. The more time you take the better the outcome. Don't be afraid to drill holes or use an existing hole in the fire wall. Make sure to use rubber grommets.
