I do not have any pics but I used a piece of aluminum stock that was twice the width of the base of the coil pack to make a shelf near the stock location. I attached the aluminum to the stock coil pack mount, then the coil pack to the aluminum shelf that was overhanging the stock location towards the driver's side of the car. That way I cleared the hinge and was able to use stock wires.
I have since relocated the coil pack to where the battery use to sit and made custom length wires. It really cleaned up the top side of the engine and was pretty easy to do. I wish I had done it this way the first time out... but I had never made wires and was sort of leery of even trying. Cutting and crimping ingintion wires is really easy.

If running stock wires then you have to mount it either on the firewall on either side of the swap that would keep it near the stock location. If you can get ahold of a few sets of stock wires as most people damn near give them away then you can use the longer ones and place the coils father away. I did this for a while but then went to MSD wires when the stock ones failed......

I went with MSD Street Fire wires, and in the pic you can see I mounted the coils in front of the trunk... looking down at it, it is left of the Oil filler cap.. but I think had I the funds to do over, I woulf have put it in the battery box and routed the battery up front.. makes for a cleaner engine bay. This is my daily driver though so i'm not concerned with it being a show car..

I mount the coilpack on the firewall next to the battery, on the other side of the trunk hinge. sorta a pain to get to the connector, but it works fine.

This would be the ideal place it seems, because it would retain stock wires, yet get it out of the way of the hinge. With it in the stock location it hits the hinge, so thats out. So do you just remove a section of the insulation, then just screw it into the firewall?
