I'm also having this issue, and I also only started noticing it after a ATF change. I think it had more to do with the ECU relearn process than the actual fluid change.

I've done a quick cleaning...

Oh yeah. January 2014 was hell with the original parts. My windows would always freeze in the "dropped to open the door" position and get stuck there. It's a wonder I didn't fill the whole interior...

The panel gaps in the photo with the hood closed look off. Something is either damaged or not OEM.

I did get a good chuckle over how long it took for the magnet idea to come up.

No visible Perrin parts. That sticker probably just means a Perrin air filter inside.

$17k sounds like an awful lot. That's more like what I'd expect to sell mine for up here in Canada.

Honestly, I'd like a bit bigger tank myself. My fuel mileage sucks in the winter.

Also, when I do roadtrips home, it's about 660km. I get about 630km to a tank when making that trip.
