Finally on to the little stuff. Need some advice. Picture Heavy

I recently got the car running, hopefully for good this time. And Now its time for me to close off all of the projects I started when the car was down. I do have a few specific questions but mostly Im looking for advice on the following things.

Dont mind the web, Just wondering if anyone knows the size of the nut that holds this on, and the easiest way to access it.

Ive seen the trim piece for sale. But $50 seems a bit steep for a plastic square. Know of any other sources?

Im cleaning up a lot of wiring all around the car, any suggestions on how to tuck/hide the HHH cord? Id like to keep it in place, but Im always kicking it around.

This one is my bad. Its one of the first mods I did to my car, and its a complete hack job. I need a new a pillar, but I would love to get one that has a triple gauge pod already installed.
The plastic is cracked all the way thru and the clips are gone. It falls out of place all the time. I was thinking of getting AFR, a good volt meter, and an AEM Tru boost in the pods.

This area is just very cluttered. I was also dumb and bought a red ground wire kit. That has led to a couple sparks.

PO really did a number on the wiring. as far as I can tell this is a single strand of wire that was just balled up around the bottom of the shifter. Could this be a stock wire of some sort? maybe antenna? I have not been able to trace back the other end yet. and the wire looks like its cut off at the end.

Lots of removed wiring.

This is one of the major bits. My rear bumper is wiggly. Apparently there are 5 clips that go thru the middle in these holes. Anyone know what they look like? or where to get them?

And last but not least. This is the corner of my rear bumper. How does this attach and what to? Also, is there a decent way to fix it? I really dont want to zip tie it together, but buying a whole new bumper seems a bit extreme as well.

Thanks for reading. Its a lot of pictures with not much text but thanks none the less. Also, in case its not somwhere else. the car is a 91 Stealth RT/TT with about 150k miles. Its a blast to drive and after these fixes and getting all the interior back into place I think I may start DDing it. Feel free to suggest anything or ask questions. Ill reply as quick as I can.

Going through these one at a time
8mm nut - Take off the inside fender well lining. There should be a bolt attached to the side skirts, looks like a T-bolt of sorts with a black plastic head. If it's missing then you can fashion up a new nut with a washer and just epoxy it into the old spot if the sideskirt mounting point is still there. They tend to break also.

Those break all the time, especially the little mounting tabs. Post up in the parts wanted section and you can usually get one for $20-30

Take off the carpet covers for the side of the center console and run the wire to the center console glove box. There is a little square piece in the bottom before the cup holder portion that pops out. You can run the wire to there and store it in the center console when not used. Just zip tie everything to the stock wiring so it doesn't hang down all the time.

Cianci is the only one that makes a triple gauge pod. They pop-up every once in a while around here but they can be expensive. I run my three gauges below my stereo as I went with an aftermarket stereo. I hate gauge pods!!

Start with a vac reduction and wire tuck what you can. That ground wire kit is definitely not hooked up correctly as each terminal should not go directly to the battery. Each one should ground a certain spot to the frame since the entire frame of the car is one giant ground. The point of the ground wire kit is to reduce ground resistance for certain items that have to flow through various types of metals and gaskets and may not get a good solid ground.

Not stock wire, can't see the connector but it looks to be a phone cable of sorts. Those are used for bass control running a knob back to an amplifier or something. Stock Antenna is black or gray round thick wire and pretty short. You can only pull it out a couple inches past the radio mounting points.

It is missing the push clips. Look under the behind the panel hanging down. you should se a metal bracket attached to the fuel tank. Just zip tie the spots back into place. The plastic clips sem to fall out over time and they are about $2-3 ea from the dealership...

That is missing the 10mm screws. Remove the inner fender plastic and look up from the bottom. You will see the mounting points. The inner fender splash guard still has the bolts and metal clips as I can se them in the pic. That usually means that the rear bumper mounting points are broken off in which you would ned to get creative to reattach the splash guard. Follow this for rear bumper removal instructions: Stealth 316 - Rear Bumper Replacement

The ground wire kit I recieved is hooked up that way as well. There are 3 that go to the battery, and 2 that go to the frame iirc.

Those screw rivets a 8MM they sell them on eBay for a few dollar for 25 or so. I learned this after buying a set from Mitsubishi at $2 a piece. Here is an example there are places out of Hong Kong and China that are much cheaper.

As for the A pillar three pod 3sx has them, they also still sell the A Pillar covers although I was told I got the last 96+ Beige one.

Is that for the bumper? is that really all I need? Awesome! Thank you!

As for the pillar, I think Im just going to go for a stock one. I like the idea of having gauges in the center console under the radio.
