I also finished it with wire loom down both sides for a nice clean look and only ran the larger, low interior piece.
And forget about the stock struts, my hatch wouldnt even come close to closing with them. even with the weaker napa shocks it will still lift slightly above body line.

i will see if i have some pictures but i don't think i do, sorry. all your doing is extending the wire so you can ground it, i happened to chose the bolts where the strut mounts to.
then i covered all the wiring with black loom so it looked nice, like factory.
i no longer have the cf hatch so i cant take new pictures. i dunno how some of you guys are running without defrost!
good info on the seibon trunk too, thats sweet they include a grounding point. (mine was from bBist).
