simple.
take off fenders bumper hood.
drill holes and put in grommets wherever needed to run wiring, extend whatever wires you need to extend (solder and heatshrink please) and make it all disappear from plain view.
the concept is simple, the execution is harsh. if you gotta ask how to do it, then really it's not for you. it's a very custom and personal project. there is really no real 'how to' on it. i mean.... just HIDE THE WIRES.

if your willing to go out and get a shyt load of wire (i'd personally keep each stretched wire a color of it's own) and map it all out ahead of time so you can't lose track of what your up to then go for it...plus as Bruno pointed out, remove body panels etc.
just a fuse box would be an easier place to start, but like i said, map it out
an '89 would be a lot easier to do than a 2002
