How to Hide wires Trans Am WS6 Camaro Firebird Formula SS Firehawk.
Wanted to clean up the underside of the hood on my trans am. This is something I have done on several cars I have owned and really like the outcome. This is an easy project that doesn't require a ton of time or tools.

I just did this on my 98 Camaro really cleaned it up. I used 1 3/4 hole for the passenger side and it was a perfect fit nice and clean. I would say that’s the smallest hole you could go with.

@TWAMotorsports 2 месяца назад

Definitely cleans up the look

@Malkin6280 5 лет назад

Using split vacuum line RTV'd into place makes some nice sheet metal hole edge guard. Keep up the great work!

@TWAMotorsports 5 лет назад

Great tip. Thank you Scott

@Tirefryer91efi 6 лет назад

I just did this and i ran the hood release cable through the hole above the screw hole at 6:22. You can see it above the screw hole . You will still need to run a drill through it for a little more clearance but it worked good. Nice video.

@TWAMotorsports 6 лет назад

Tirefryer91efi good call thank you

I have a 98 trans am. And i am going to do that now. Always hated those ugly wires. Thanks for the video. Really informative

@nickvh4482 6 лет назад

TWA Motorsports i bet haha. When i cam swap my car this year i will be able to remove that air injection crap but for now i will have to let it sit there and be ugly lol.

@vincentwright8449 3 года назад

Awesome idea. I’ll definitely do your idea when I got a little free time. Great job! I never liked that messy layout on 4th gens. I believe every generation prior has Under hood cleaning up potential whether it’s electrical, vacuum lines, etc as well.

@TWAMotorsports 3 года назад

Thank you. That's for sure. Newer stuff just covers in plastic

Excellent video. I've read online instructions on how to do it but your video gives a really good idea of exactly how easy/difficult the job is and about how long to expect it to take.

Hi again;I completed the passenger side of hiding the wires and it looks great.Not sure on how to do the drivers side 'Air Injection Line' could you tell me how you did that? Thank you Wayne and Sandra from Simcoe Ont. Canada

@TWAMotorsports 5 лет назад

I sent an email. Shouldn't be too bad.

@mikeb6033 4 года назад

oh man i know what you mean as far as putting that liner back up, what I ended up doing after getting frustrated with it, was making the holes in the liner bigger so I could see where they line up on the inner fender, then just added an appropriately sized washer to the bolt.

@TWAMotorsports 4 года назад

Yeah I use a light to find the holes. It sucks.

@KenPaisley Год назад

Great idea. Make the shock tower weaker and run the wires where they will corrode faster.

@TWAMotorsports Год назад

Thanks for your amazing thoughts. I'm sure others will find it helpful 👍

@austinanderson2873 6 лет назад

Thanks for the video man. Ive got an 01 WS6. I've always been curious how this was done. Please keep the videos coming! I'm very interested to see how the air injection pump and all that comes off. My car has headers on it but still has the air injection stuff to that stuff really clutters up the engine bay.

@TWAMotorsports 6 лет назад

Austin Anderson thanks for watching. I did the video on air injection removal with the header install. If you already have headers you will need to buy or make some block off plates.

Does the harness on the passenger side being run on the underneath cause the fender liner not to sit flush any more?

No it's still flush.

@hoonaticbloggs5402 5 лет назад

If I put those wires in the inner fender here in the U.K. my car would stop working soon due to water ingress. I wouldn’t recommend drilling the strut towers either, they are structural and it would fail inspection

@TWAMotorsports 5 лет назад

this will not affect the structure of the strut towers. It also is not open to the elements as it is under the liner and all weather pack connections.

@robertomarquez4593 5 лет назад

Looks great man. Especially without the mess of that cruise control module and cables. Did you delete it yourself?

Does the hood latch cable just kinda hang in place under its own tension or did u have to tie it down? Maybe the fender liner just holds it in place after its bolted down

Had a question pertaining to the engine bay of your car. I watched pretty much all the videos but I think I missed the one apparently were you pull the motor out. Did you personally go through and spray the engine bay or did you have that done professionally? If you did it yourself did you get the paint color of the RPO codes? I know some stores sell the specific red for GM that appears to match very closely, just curious as to how you went about doing so. Thank you keep the awesome videos come in please!
