I decided I'm going to adjust the tow hook placement. It'll now retract strait back. It exit the just above the opening in the bumper along the leading edge, very similar to the location of the BMW 2000 concept. Here a pic of the tucked brakes lines as well.

Just got these from the shop. The bash bar and Intercooler are in the way for the hook to exit on the leading edge. It'll be more towards the opening.

It pains me that a tuck requires cutting into the loom so damn much!

Yeah it's definitely daunting but I think it'll pay off in the end. That's assuming my car starts after all this.

Awesome work as always.

It's pretty obvious your maticulous! it will be fine and look amazing. I helped my neighbor with a tuck on his 2j. It takes some serious time to go through all those wires and get it right. To add to our confusion, he re-wired mostly everything and went with a stand alone ecu. It took TONS of time to get it all right. This was on an SC300 with a turbo. You wouldn't believe how intertwined all the systems and wiring was from back then. In some ways I think our Z's are much easier!!!
