Running the lines was a real simple task.. also, i used a lot of the existing clips that held our stock brake lines/fuel lines in place because there were a few slots that were unused so the lines fit perfectly in place... the tough challenge was to get all of the electrical wiring done because you have to run at least 15 wires from the front of the car to the rear.. it is a mess and you can only do so much to clean up the wires.. I didnt even drill 1 single hole in the trunk as I used an existing grommet to poke the lines through..

oh nice, thats really good about the grommets. why so many wires? what type of switches are you running? looks like you have 8 valves, should only be 2 wires per valve. atleast thats how my easystreet kit use to be.

none the less, the car looks incredible slammed like that

all the wires are due to the 7 switches box I have along with the dakota sensors that go to the front.. I also made a kill switch to the pressure switch just in case it malfunctions and the compressors dont turn off..

I don't know Al. I still see you in the white 2GS which looked great btw. I guess with this addition here (and I know more to come) I'll get use to you in the 3GS. I'll get it out my head. I will.
