Had the day off and I basically spent it all on Christine. Let's see how my checklist went.

-Install Apex Catch Can
The instructions were great, but it just took me forever to do this. I was being ultra careful so it was real slow.

Most things were easy, but getting the fittings for the hoses to point forward was a bit tricky. Too much thread seal tape and it was off, too little and it was off. Hard to get exactly right.

I don't like how I routed the incoming vacuum hose. It looked ok with the engine cover off, but when I put the cover back on it was pressing on the line. I did not want to run the line right against the valve cover (heat concerns?) so the angle is not that great. I will look around and redo this during the weekend. Nothing wrong with the product, I just don't like how I did that line.

-Install Elite Clean Side Separator
I think I got some drections for this from Elite, but I could not find them today
I emailed them, PM'd them here and posted on the relevant topic. Still no word. I decided to table that install until a later date. Indy, I have the stock air box, no CAI FYI. Thanks for trying to help me.

-Install more 3D Carbon Fiber applications I have
I did install the 3D carbon fiber keyhole cover. Looks cool. I also did the visor stickers with the warnings with the 3D carbon fiber. Not a bad little upgrade. Sorry, forgot to take some pictures.

-Install my 'CAMARO' emblems as the Xpel spots on the sides have now been fixed by the sun
I had everything ready to do this and I changed my mind. I like the debadged look. I have some more 3D carbon fiber to go over the chrome lettering, but maybe I will just leave them off. Looks better to me, at least right now. Subject to change perhaps.

-Rewash and Rewax
Did another Adam's Car Shampoo wash with the mitt. microfiber towel dry. I went over the whole car again with Meguiars Ultimate Liquid wax. Came out great.

Busy day!
