Default Wire Tuck?

Does anyone have a wire tuck done on their engine?
If so, how difficult was it, and can we see some pics?
I really like how clean an engine bay looks this way, but I hear mixed opinions about having it done.
Some say it can be done w/ no problem, yet I've also heard that it's "nothing but" potential problems
(and that was a guy who's been in the magazines, and owns a 1000hp Supra).

Any tucked SC's?
What's your opinion?

Very easy with our cars. The path of disaster he speaks of is usually weak ground points.

The harness on the drivers side can be disconnected and rerouted through the fender well area. The passenger side harness can delt with the same way, just totally disconnect it and remove it from the engine bay, once you get use to working with the wires you will see what i mean.

Thanks cmh! I forgot to update it I will do it now.

What about the rest of the stuff?
It looks like alot has been taken out of the bay (or relocated).
