Need help routing wires to interior fuse box

I am doing an underglow kit install on my 23’ IS500 and I can’t figure out more to route the power and ground wires from under the car into the driver side interior where I have the wiretap ready to go.

Does anyone have a video or anything I can use for reference? I don’t even know if I need to take the undercarriage covers off

I have a 2014 Nissan Altima 3.5SL with 170K miles. I just got a P17F1 code and a host of suspension things that need replacing (both LCAs, tire rod, wheel bearing). I am experiencing some vibrations and nose and steering wheel shake when I am cruising without pressing the throttle and when slightly breaking. This stops when heavily accelerating and breaking.

It could be fixed by a cv axle replacement + drain & fill but I don’t see any of the cv axles leaking or looking abnormal. The right passenger cv axle has a little more give when shaking it than the driver side.

Is it worth the repair to do the drain & fill + passenger cv axle relevant or should I find a way to get rid of the car. It’s been in the family for 13 years

OP update here from previous post, for all the folks who didn’t believe in clogged ceramic coatings I believe I understand why. I was washing my car biweekly with ph neutral soap for the full 1.5 years the car had been coated with Adam’s graphene ceramic coating. The door panels started sheeting and I couldn’t figure out why.

Today, I restored the hydrophobic properties by using acidic cleaning products. I guess most people would just call that a dirty car and some call it clogged. But I:

  1. ⁠Fully rinsed the car
  2. ⁠Foam cannon with Adam strip wash, let dwell for 3 minutes, agitated door panels, and rinsed
  3. ⁠Iron remover in the door panels and rear of the car, dwell for 3 minutes and rinsed thoroughly
  4. ⁠Foam cannon with Adams car shampoo (ph neutral) and fully washed the entire car

This restored hydrophobic properties but I then decided to

  1. Use adams graphene detail spray as a drying aide and towel dried the car.

Thank you everyone for your input and comments. And making the thread hilarious!

I’m pretty sure my ceramic coating is clogged. What’s the proper order to unclog it on a wash:

  1. Adam’s PH neutral foam and rinse
  2. Diluted Adam’s strip wash foam and contact wash
  3. Adam’s Iron remover and rinse
  4. Ceramic sealant spray and dry

Is this right?

My daily needs a whole new suspension and cvt transmission, so I’m gonna scrap it but I need to know what’s the right choice to make for a daily.

I wanna get a used manual car I can put crazy miles on but I’m debating between the Integra A Spec w/Tech or the Integra Type S.

Anyone who drives either wanna weigh in their opinion on the vehicles? Will take all opinions and thoughts!
