Some people simply run the wiring under the inner guards.

Usually have to extend the wires, although i've never done it myself, i'd say it would'nt be a easy job.

If you don't want to go that far you can put it in spiralock or spaghetti tubing. Wiring is still there but less cluttered.

As an Auto sparky I have always said to people who bulid show cars and want Hidden wiring that the Idea came from people wanting to do the Job themselves and thay have no Idea how to make the wiring as part of the show so they have to hide it because it make the engine bay look cluttered and untidy. There are ways of making the wirig look tidy but it all costs money.
