I cut the cable wire and re-attached it using something I bought from HomeDepot. If you blow up the picture below you could actually see the connection. If you are going to do this, cut it from the pedal side so you don't see the connection in the engine bay. I've just been lazy to re-route it the right way.
Looks great!
I'm planning to delete the cruise control. Is swapping for the CC cable net you the same length? or would that have to be cut too?
Did you notice any difference in pedal feel? better or worse? I always wondered why Honda did that?

No difference in pedal feel at all.

Undercarriage Diffuser, Half-Sized Radiator, Custom PRM Intake, Relocated Trunk Button.
Finally got done with this project after sparingly working on it on weekends.
Old set up.
The old radiator support/mount has seen better days and has bottom out way too many times, so I decided to just ditch it instead of salvaging it.
New radiator mount. A quarter of the weight of the OEM.
Triple core, half sized radiator. I was able to use the OEM radiator fan on it, which moves a lot more air than slim fans.
Got the new radiator installed. I copied the way the OEM is set up and is supported.
Middle diffuser tray is in place.
New PRM intake, which is known for its great sound but also for tendency to get heat soak. With this set up, no heat soak here.
Also, shown below are 2 air deflector shields to channel air to the radiator when the car is moving.
Cleaned up my old Hella Air Horns and cleaned up some wiring under there.
Full front under-carriage tray diffuser.
New engine bay shot.
I just reused and relocated my radiator overflow. Could not find a decent one without costing over hundreds of dollars.
Also bought a shifter extension and relocated the trunk button. I don't really like the extension but the trunk button is sooo much convenient to use.
Next up, custom front splitter for my CR lip.
