Default Before & After Hose Relocation Pics!

You don't need to buy a hose relocation kit to hide those ugly lines that go over the fuse box cover and alternator cover. A trip to the auto parts store for some 3/8" fuel line is all you need. Just cut off the hose at the hard plastic line as needed and slip on the fuel line. Or disconnect the lines and cut off the female quick connect end which is what we did here. It is a nice tight fit so no need for clamps as these lines are not pressurized. Then reroute down between the fuse box and lower coil pack covers and under the alternator cover. Zip tie the lines to the handle on the side of the fuse box or to the wiring harness under there and you are done.

That looks awesome. I was looking into doing this soon. Thanks for the info. Can you post a pic of where it connects...by the fuse box.

Yeah a few more detailed pics! Pics from the drivers side for a passenger side mod isn’t working, there’s a lot of guys that are more visual than written.
