I am looking at one but seems like I can only go through my tail light with it. I dont wanna do that.
it seems that I can put a moroso one next to my keyhole behind the keyhole cover. or just replace the keyhole all together. maybe I should get the pull cable type so I can mount it under the bumper and just use a sign to show where its at.

that would also be possible. when i put mine in my hatch, im putting the pull style right where the keyhole is since i dont have a key for it anyways. lol

I think the 1st one is better because it has the alternator kill.

i used 2 guage car stereo amplifier wiring.. i bought a plastic battery box from walmart and a big group 12 battery.. drilled 2 holes thru the battery box and chassis.. then ran ground wire to the spot where the spare tire went.. i need to get a cutoff switch to run car at track but not sure where to mount it aswell. and make sure u bolt the battery down good.. i didnt do it the first time in my other ef and the battery tipped over and the acid ate away all the paint.

my main concern right now is finding a good switch mounting spot.
I've searched everywhere.

ive seen that most people put it in the middle tail light thing.. you could drill 2 holes thru the chassis by the spare tire to route the wires thru.. then make a bracket underneath ur bumper to hold the switch so it wont be visible unless u look under the car.. then just put a piece of tape above it and say battery with a sign going down..
