Default fuse box and module relocation to trunk

i'm getting my engine bay cleaned, sealed and painted after which a Pfab custom kit will be installed.

The battery, fuse box and that module next to it (EPS?) will be going to the trunk.

I don't know exactly where to put it all, any good ideas? Maybe some pics?

I don't want to relocate it to the fender because of the hassle if a fuse blows.

Thanks.

I've got Pangs twin scroll manifold, just like Joey.
I also want to clean up the engine bay so it needs to go.

Trunk is probably good but i'd like some suggestions as of where exactly. Hopefully some experienced ppl.

Man that's going to be a buttload of work.

I've owned my car for over 4 years and I've never changed an underhood fuse.

That is too much wire to route if you ask me, it's going to be difficult fitting it under carpet without it being a massive bulge I would think. There's a reason it's been done so many times into the fender. On the other hand other places:

Under passenger airbag (have to delete airbag)
Passenger foot panel, I had it here and hated it, put it back to fender.
Behind passenger seat-just as much effort and problems as trunk IMO

^Best places if your not going to put it in the fender.

I'm sure you will change your mind about putting in the trunk after you see the wires that you will be dealing with

I'm in the process now except i would never put the fusebox in the trunk. Its so many wires that you will have to lengthen. Fuses dont really blow that often unless you have a problem anyway.

Just remember, fuses are a safety trigger. If a fuse pops, you have bigger issues than changing out a fuse. 10 minutes to pull your front wheel and check the fuse box is no big deal at all, i've done it once and everything was as normal.
