Since its been in storage for the winter, had time to install the Velox Transmission Tunnel Cover that's been sitting on my shelf since November. >_<
Velox Transmission Tunnel Cover with custom made 3rd panel Custom 3rd panel made out of aluminum to finish covering the tunnel Now to fix the front end from hitting a furry 14lb bowling ball, on my way back from the SEMA show more in that later

Racoons suck
In November, on my way back from an Epic 6,249 mile road trip (Sheboygan, WI, to Portland OR, then down the PHC to LA and then over to the SEMA show, then back to shoebottom) I hit a furry 14lb bowling ball.
This will not buff out...... At least I did recover the Decepticon emblem When the INS adjuster was here, he was saying this would all be easy to replace and not cost that much. lol A 20 min estimate turn in to him being here 3.5 hours. lol Evidently they have/had no experience with the RS 1.0, cause once he phoned it all in they were all in a tither. If it was not for the pics of the remnants of the coon, they were trying to insinuate that I hit a curb or a parking block. Anyhow, new bumper cover and grill and misc other parts are on the way. They are having me send out the front spoiler to have a repair attempted. IDk how that's going to look, anything less then perfect, it will be rejected. In the mean time, since the font bumper is off, time to install a Mishmoto Oil Cooler and the Greedy Air Intake Snorkle that's sitting on the shelf. Laterz

Damn nice undercarriage. Did you notice a difference during highway speeds with drag/noise reduction?

Yes, less noise and gained about 2mpg. The car feels more stable at highway speeds and in cornering too.

While waiting on the bumper cover and front lip to be painted from the racoon damage, had some time this weekend to install the some parts!!
Mishmoto Oil Cooler Greddy Air Intake Snorkel Replaced the damaged Hella Horns Replaced Condenser bug screen Mishmoto Oil Cooler The oil cooler was pretty easy install, fun part was getting the lines in a position they were happy about. Not easy bending braided lines, a lil heat from a heat gun helps. Chose the thermostat sandwich plate at 185/F Drilled out the drain holes in the lower radiator box panel. They were totally clogged with bugs and crap. Greddy Air Intake Snorkel I cut about an inch off the snorkel so it doesn't hang down so low, to block the oil cooler. left it just low enough to be in position to catch the air flow. Took some 3/4 in velcro strip and used it as a gasket. The stuff the came with the snorkel was a joke Fits nice and tight for no leaks. Also channeled out the styrofoam bumper cover support for the snorkel New Condenser screen Wating for its clothes damn racoons

Did you mention anywhere how you got the fogs to come on with the parking lights? I have an 860 Special Edition with the factory LED fogs and I'd like to have them work independently of the headlights.

Used a relay off the parking lights wire out of the BCM to trigger them, along with the dash light.

Man its been a year since I did anything to her!!!
Well I am changing that! Next phase of the interior is starting. Being a Release Series 1.0, I am going to put my vision as to how the interior should have been made from the factory. It may have added a lil more cost to it, but I sure ppl would have paid for it. First up: Black Suede headliner And a teaser: Hand stitching takes time... Good things are coming.............
