Any pictures?
Sorry. I forgot I mentioned I’ll post pictures. So I’ll take some tomorrow and do my best to explain what I did.
I took a lot of JB4 install videos into mind when installing the JB4 and simply did what they said but better and more optimal/hidden/ and clean.
For example, they laid wires across the engine bay... technically could be okay but still makes me cringe.

Do they match the stock trim?
The stock trim is a Matte or flat black and the lip is a gloss black, similar to the A pillars. Originally, I wanted to paint the Maxton lip to match the flat black factory trim but once it was on the car I decided to leave it gloss black. It looks better than I thought it would.

Sweet! Can you spare a closeup? There is gloss on the windshield panels, so definitely a compliment.

So I took a few pictures but i feel like it’s kinda pointless and I should do a video. Or try to at least for explanations.
it’s raining now so I have to wait. Also, for the EWG cable. I can’t get a view of the install because the intake is in the way.
so I’ll do my best describing it in a video when it clears up

This may be a silly question, but can the EWG harness be installed from under the car?

I’ll try to describe the above

ill try to describe what I posted:

1. the obd2 is fed through the far left side of the car under the wheel. This prevents having to have hanging wires. Due to a column above where your left foot rests.
2. Breaking through the firewall. Nobody mentioned in the videos that the part you go through is a circular soft rubber piece. Very distinguishable.
3. I folded the jb4 and Bluetooth sensor in a taco and zip tied it in foam. It doesn’t move.
4. I took out the plastic piece in front of where the jb4 sits and ran the cables under it. There is a gap under the trim piece and metal of the chassis.
5. Ran the EWG through the front and down as shown. I zip tied it as needed as shown.
once I got to the plug in. I did what the videos stated. I didn’t like the exposed wires that were on the EWG stock cables so Izip tied conduits around them. You can see it as you zoom in the air intake are. I then zip tied the stock sensor so it wasn’t dangling.
6. The mapping sensor and the other sensor was no issue. You can see where I zip tied the cables to make it clean and where I zip tied the sensors to make it not dangling in the front.
The sensor on top of the engine sits there but is under a wire to prevent movement.

sorry if this doesn’t help. I can make a video. Just currently raining right now.

I ordered one a couple days ago from Extreme Power House here on this forum. Hopefully it arrives soon!!!
Mine took 8 days start to finish and that was after I I lost a couple days trying to order the CG Precision downpipe, which has no ETA as of right now. XPH was great.
