not sure if this is the right area to post this, please move to appropriate section please if not.

*Dislcaimer, I am not responsible for injuries due to poor safety and usage of tools/power tools, or damages due to poor worksmanship, DO NOT attempt if you think you cannot perform the tasks.

Ballin hard with your new rims but your harness is getting f**d?
Can't find a decent DIY thread to tuck your harness?
Making plans to super slam your car and you want to get ahead by tucking that annoying harness?
That tuck you already have still causing harness rub?

Well, here is the thread you've been looking for!

Novice steps(if you already have your fender off your car or know how to get to it skip to the pics and short tutorial comments)

Remove your headlights, grill, and corners
Remove all 12 screws(or less) along the top/side part of your support holding your bumper
Unplug all light connections on your bumper(sidemarkers/blinkers) and remove and set aside your bumper
Remove 9 screws holding up your fender 3 on top, 2 near door, 2 near corner light area, 2 near bottom rocker panel area.
At this point your fender is off(or should be -____- )!

Tools/Items I used

Protective gear
Side Grinder(sawzall would have been better but side grinder worked)
Primer
Duct Tape(yes i know, lol)
*Throw in any other steps you want to make it satisfactory to your project goal

mark where you want to cut(pic is piece already cut but put back into place for reference)
IMO it was the perfect size cut for the harness to fit into.

Chunk cut out, used the hammer to hit the chunk out because the side grinder would not reach

Primer the fresh cut to prevent rust

Finished product, i threw some duct tape over the primer after it dried so the edges of the cut wont cut into the harness.ziptie your harness using the holes provided by nissan ^^

Enjoy
