Very impressive, saw a few Civics like that at the South Mimms meet. Clean enough to eat your dinner off and dead easy to work on.

How would go about this? Surly you have to extend all the wires. So what soldering new lengths on? Surely that would mess up the resistance if some systems.

Love it though! Would also love it! Done :mrgreen:

Easy to work on in the sense you run everything through the front wings so any issue with that is a bigger job to get to. Looks good yes but takes a lot if dedication.
Nathan is doing this bit by bit.

You can get part way there with little effort but the remaining wires takes a lot of thought.

Cost?

No real cost. Just your time and imagination and maybe cost of wires.

Also a lot of these installs remove cruise control, ac, abs, egr, powersteering etc.

I wouldn't ever consider paying anyone to do it... You'd be looking at thousands simply because of the time it takes.

Check out my link below (The red one) and check the cable/wire tuck and harness updates to give you an idea of what's involved (Although mine is extreme). I've done most of it now over a long time (I don't have much of it), but haven't rebuilt my engine yet.
