How does the GT350 use a battery maintainer like the ctek or others? Do any of the cigarette lighter plugs work to plug into for charging??

None of the cigarette lighter ports stay hot after the car is shut down. It is best to hardwire to the battery. I ran the line to the front bumper which is where I connect. This allows me to use it with the cover without leaving the hood up.

Where do you put the plug at when not in use? I'd destroy that.lol

The plug is zip tied and after 3 track days it has not moved. It is also tied in multiple places and even if the tie at the end breaks, the wire still won't hit the ground.

Nice setup^ there [MENTION=18284]jefffrot[/MENTION]

Another good setup, that easily tucks away, is via a quick disconnect pigtail.... here's mine.

I did this. Separated the red and black runs a bit more to run the end on the fender side of the fuse box towards the front headlight. It is secured in that area and I run the wall cord out where the hood and fender meet. Closed hood for storage and I can leave the red/black end under hood when not is use.
