For the Driver side, I just tucked the main bundle between the injectors and COPs. I also ran the alternator power wire under the intake in the valley.

That looks really good. Now tuck that passenger side...

Once I have a few days off I'll tackle the passenger side, That one is a bitch.

Its actually easier than it looks. Although moving the battery to the trunk will greatly help this.

Yeah - Only problem is my trunk is filling up! haha

I've got 2 amps, a sub, and a N2O bottle about to go in!

I'll see what I can do one of these days when I have nothing going on for a whole weekend

I've actually got my battery in the spare tire well to free up space.

The bedliner seem to be holding up on the plastic intake cover so far? Did you just scuff it and shoot? Been debating on painting mine textured black with the lines left silver.

I'm in the process of painting the intake cover just like you did. The masking part is a pain in the ass! 2 more steps and mine should be done.
