Hi guys. Well after mocking up the rear aluminum and realizing it will really be in the way I moved onto the fuel lines. Knowing the pressures involved on a fuel injected car I wasn't entirely comfy with the idea of cutting and splicing the ends of the OEM line onto the FFR provided ones. With that in mind I wanted to see just how the complete OEM hard line looked when held up to the frame. What I found was quite surprising. The first two pictures are OEM bends nothing modified. The third is a 45degree I added to follow the frame contour up over the rear axle housing. This was followed by a couple of 90's to follow the outer edges back to the tank. What do you think? I am considering keeping this routing as everything lines up so well and there is no danger of a rubber hose coupling letting loose with 40 psi behind it.

If there are no conflicts, and it won't rub on anything, it's perfectly fine. IMHO.
