Default Wire Hidding, K Member & Battery Relocating Kit

I am in the process right now if hiding all my wires, etc. and I was thinking about relocating my battery to the rear. Is there any "best looking" kit out there? Looks are definetly important since Im trying to build somewhat of a show car.

K member - I baught a D&D K member a while back and I was planning on using that with their a arms and their coil over kit. Everyone I talk to running D&D either says they love it or they hate it. Whats your opinion? I want to know before I jump into it and try installing their front end kit without success.

Wire Hiding - I just got the fenders off, etc. last night and tonight I am going to jump into the wiring, I have read the tech articles, etc. but is there any tips, words of advice, etc. anyone can give me?

THANKS!

Dan

As for a battery relocating kit I was looking at the Steeda one but dont want to pay that much so I was looking at this.

I dont see how it could be a "bad" kit but I thought I would ask anyway. And should I get the 1 gauge or 2 gauge kit. Theres like a $20 dollar price difference...

relax man, we cant answer all questions all the time.

I have the same battery box and it is IHRA legal, and easy to install, but if you plan on racing at the track you will need a battery cutoff switch in the back.

thicker wire is better, I used 1 gauge for the battery cables to the front and from the alternator to the battery.

I was just messing around with that comment. I been on the forums long enough to know that it does take atleast SOME time to get your q's answered lol. Anyway, Im glad to hear that someone else has this box and no problems with it. I am going to go ahead and get it. Thanks for the help man. I appreciate it.

Now, back to the wire hiding and the k member. Anyone?
