Good thing you have a lift right? Looks like everything in the engine bay it a little tight; even without the cover on there.

With the battery wires and the hint of blue on the F logo and even the oil cap everything matches and flows nicely!

tight is an understatement lol ....the V8 shoved in an IS250 sized engine bay does not mean i got extra space LOL!

i just have to ask, how do you solder those so clean!? whenever i try, i always end up having the solder drip out the bottom. how do you avoid that?

Practice, the dudes been doing this for a little bit.

Same thing would happen to me until I started wrapping a small strip of aluminum foil where the wire jacket and terminal meet. It kept the solder in and made things a lot easier. Also it melted the jacket to the terminal making a nice seal.

Is there an alt up grade coming with this build?

Ok, I went back through and am still confused on a certain thing. With the 3.sixty pod, how do you keep it from falling? I know a good base mold is strong, but I dont see any mounting tabs etc.

Could you explain how the pod will stay secure on the deck lid?

Oh, and I hate you for how awesome this build is, lol! Great work bro!

I was gonna ask the same thing.
