Wire Tuck anyone?

My buddies G35 is wire tucked and so clean. Has anyone done this on the Z. Anyone want to do a DIY?

It certainly beats extreme camber, huge tail spoilers, and the neon-from-Hell look, but there is no way I'm gonna butcher the wiring on a modern car. I've rewired more than one classic car successfully (one from bumper-to-bumper), but this is just asking for trouble. The only way to do it right is to NOT splice anything - if it's too short or long, run another wire. Then there's the connectors. You either have to install new pins for the new wiring or use new connectors.
But if someone has done it and it works, well, it's hard to argue with success.

It looks great and if that's what you want, more power to ya, but I'll have nightmares tonight just thinking about it.

YMMV
