i took the wire bunch that goes to the alternator and tucked it under the torque strut mount.

if you have a painted valve cover i would def say you need to do this.

and nah not yet, next week hopefully.

yeah i need to see what u did in pics so i can do it too,
i painted my valve cover so this could be my next mod

I considered it... but that requires drilling through the inner fender wall, so I dropped the idea... plus I like having my engine bay filled... I installed my intake and now my entire right side seems empty...

You serious?

It means to hid the wires in the engine bay so it reduces the clutter.

Actually wire tucking isn't as common, so it is a valid question...
It looks really good in small cars like a civic, but big car like a camry... it looks too empty... would've looked much better to wire tuck if our engine bay was symmetric like a G37

Sorry, i've always been around it so it's pretty common to me. I'm pretty new to Toyotas but i'm very good with Hondas.

Just close the hood, problem solved.

10-16-2009, 01:44 PM

where the pics man?

scamry · 10-16-2009, 01:58 PM

i've thought about it on all of my vehicles...but since i prefer to generally let someone else do the under the hood work, i will keep it as simple as possible...

DrewsCam · 10-16-2009, 06:02 PM

so wheres the pics, i seen a vw with a wire tuck and it looked sick. I think the camry is too big to have it all open

workerant · 10-16-2009, 06:38 PM

what do u mean have it all open?

And for wire tuck, don't u have to buy new wires so its longer and can easily "tuck"? Just curious why any1 bother. I hardly open my hood. There is a little dust in there that I clean once in a blue moon.
