Looks good, maybe do a few more parts to match?

Hmmm, I have not thought of modifying battery cap . Probably , carbon fiber would be cool too
Thanks for this idea

Yeh absolutely. I plan to do so. I will have to try painting the center AMG plates for matching. Will share once it is done.

Been working on the same area for a bit. Taking a coolant mod ref from Kenny's ink
I think the idea of pushing the wire through that yellow seal instead was not a very good to me since the purpose of the seal itself is to prevent water getting in to the contacting or reley area, so forcing an additioanl wire in also can cancel or effect that purpose. Then I went for the wire cutting with soldering join re-connect with tapes to the ground. Below images shows how it is done. just another mod refenrece.
