This year has been unbelievably mild for my area. Hence why i was able to drive the car home a week before christmas. Last year i had about 2 ft of snow on the ground. Christmas eve was 11 degrees C. So naturally i was out in a tshirt and polished the car.

Got some warm weather today and installed the roto-fab intake and w/w relocate. Draining the full reservoir was a little messy but other than that went without a hitch. I also removed the ground stud and replaced it with a m6x20 bolt so i can remove the filter easily for cleaning.

Put in the skip shift eliminator. This car is so low its impossible to get up race ramps. Luckily my friend has a lift at home.

3m clear bra - full wrap of bumper and mirrors plus blacked out the side markers and the emblems.



Amazing product can barely see it. Car is too dirty to post pics. But this place does some pretty cool rides, had another supercharged camaro on air ride (looked real tacky) getting a full wrap, ferrari, rolls royce and a gtr. The gtr was cool, not my cup of tea but still...

Installed rgb lighting from diode dynamics. These are okay products. One strip stopped working in about 30 seconds the rest work perfect but a little disappointing.

Also installed 5k fogs and 5k drls from gen5diy.
