But you did a clean job.

Didn’t really cut a hole in the bumper, it’s a piece of plastic facing down, unplugged, the electrical port couldn’t even be seen, and there’s no impact to structural integrity. My larger concern was the hole I cut in the battery box floor, big enough to get a heavy duty plug end through. Hole is next to the battery drain tube. Put a rubber grommet in the hole, when it warms up a bit, I’ll caulk around it just to be sure, but the grommet fits very well. The entire length of the cable from the inlet port to six inches into the battery compartment is wrapped in heat shield wrap, there is an exhaust system down there. The cable isn’t really close to the exhaust tho. A product of nothing else to do for the afternoon
