Default wire tuck??

Ive searched this several times, and only come up with threads of pictures of wire tucks. I have a 1992 civic with a b18b and id like to do a wire tuck to the engine bay. Is there anyone that has any experience with this and can help me out?? below is a pic of my bay in its current state. Thanks!

Your bay actually doesn't look that bad...Wire tuck is tedious and frankly, not worth the time. Unless you're building a complete show-car, don't waste your time, take the time you were gonna do a tuck, get a second job to pay for your turbo project.

personal preference. if i had the time and money i'd do a full tuck with shaved bay. i like the floating engine appearance.

Hell if I had time I'd pick every grain of dirt out of my carpet that the vacuum won't suck up but there aren't enough hours in the day for something like this.
