pain in the ass as usual.

Couldn't get the popclips back on from underneath the new lip because of the added thickness from the new front lip but I was able to screw one bolt back on. I think the other bolt came loose while driving due a previous crappy reinstall of the front bumper lol

So I just gave up and tuck the liner inside and called it a day!

Fortune Auto is a great choice. I'm considering them as well.

I'm still waiting for it to be shipped out. Ordered it this last Friday from @FT-86 SpeedFactory; usually takes 2-3 business to process and ship. Should be hearing something tomorrow. I'll let you know when I receive and install them. I'm pretty excited to get them.

I wanted these at first originally, but saw some used Stance once I could not pass up on. I should've waited...lol. Lesson learned, never buy used suspension.

Loaded a new tune and logged some pulls. Amazing weather outside - fun to go out and just rip to redline a few times, you know, for scientific testing

Paid her off earlier today - just a little over two and a half years after driving her off the lot.

Oh, and I gave the interior a thorough vacuuming

Changed reverse lights to LEDs.
I like the look but output is the same IMO.
Might look into switchback LED kits somewhere down the line but not sure if I'm down to cut and splice.

Question Taking the bumper off for a light repair...should I pull the snorkel?

Pulling the bumper for a custom halo light repair and I already have the Injen Cold Air Intake so I am wondering about deleting the crazy stock snorkel that bends air to the old intake? Thoughts?

Also - anyone delete the tube for the cabin engine noise? I have the Sprint Booster Power Converter on my throttle and the cabin noise @7000rpm is ridiculous....can't hear the radio!

Failed my Virginia state inspection. Heads up that a lot of dealers in VA are very sketchy about lighting upgrades. I had to go back to stock for my LED DRLs for the base model(same bulb as hi-beam)...and frustratingly my license plate LEDs were...too bright I guess?

Easy enough fix, and strangely my clear side markers with amber halogens passed, even though they are clearly against code.
