Thats a pretty clean relocation setup meng. You should consider covering up the top posts since you are using the side posts though. I'd also run a fuse up front in the engine bay.

Yup, stinger connecter, found it at an audio shop.

I cover the tops with the plastic caps that come with the battery. Also, I have a different setup now. I have a breaker in the back and it splits into fuses in the front which includes the starter and the alternator.

Please dont mind the shop rag under the battery its only temporary

Good deal. Yeah I use a c/b at the battery end on mine too. Adding one on the engine bay end has been on my to-do list for a while.
