What would really look cool and really set your car apart from others that have done wire tucks, is if you fill in / smooth out all the mounting locations and holes from where you took all that stuff out. Make is all smooth looking.
Of course, it would make it next to impossible to go back to stock, but I'm guessing with all the stuff you're doing to this tC, you aren't really planning on selling it in stock form again.

putting it back to stock is gonna suckkkk.
but filling the holes is done just as often as not filling them, and i kinda like the way the holes look anyways.
and thanks Dave!

i think it would look nicer if you filled in the seams and repainted the engine bay.....i mean...if your gonna do that much work to tuck, why not just go all out and clean up the seams a lil and fill in the holes...like this :D
