battery in trunk, how did you distribute your power?

Im in the process of redoing everything under my hood including taking the engine out and redoing all of my wiring. Right now i have my power wire coming from the trunk to a 3/8" stud http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Red-P...item518db8e1f4 and i have all the hot power wires for relays and interior lights, and my starter all on that stud. gets the job done and ive had it for almost 6 months but i dont like it how can i make it look proffesional??

help me out, i would like to see some ideas or how you did it. thanks in advance

You could use a distribution box from a 4th gen. It has 2 post and a cover to hide the post.

Goes right in place of the spare tire. I know it's not what you're asking for, but could possibly help keeping the battery in there :/
