before:



after wire tuck:




*note* not the same car, but gives you the idea.

muscle cars have been doing it for years, but because newer cars have so much more wiring, it makes newer cars look even better

Looks as simple as extending wires and re routing, curious about soldering connections affecting various sensors. I would not suggest it if your car is under warranty.
