Home stretch...I think I've said that before though.

 

Bumper was fully tweaked to eliminate ALL fender gap. Can't suck it up any more now. Might try moving the hood down a smidge but otherwise I'm very satisfied.

Getting test pipes installed on Wednesday and then off to get the roof wrap re-done since it was from a bad vinyl batch and got all streaky.

Looks really nice.

 

One small detail left ... black exterior rear view mirrors ...

 

Hahah yea. I priced out the CF mirrors...that isn't happening any time soon. Not worth the cost IMO.

Oil change AND test pipe install day:

That's a nice touch.

Life hack. Take off the heat shield on the cat and on the inside wheel-well. Then, unbolt the oil reservoir, remove the cat from the top rather than out from the drivers side wheel-well. I used Peter Beattie's Garage video on YouTube as a reference and I got it done in about 90 minutes. Seemed much, much, much easier than all the grief he went through.

Where cat's belong. In a soon to be forgotten about box in storage.

Congrats on your work!!

 

 

Very nice indeed!

 

I assume all wrapped with heat tape to the tips including the test pipes.

 

I have found keeps engine bay temperatures down.

 

cheers,

john
