@JeremyR, @Kaotic Lazagna, and I installed my new rear spats. I'll take some better photos once I've had a chance to wash the car sometime this week or weekend. But, aero's all done!!

Out With The Old

Finally got rid of the last of my complimentary full tank of gas. It was 91 octane and I have filled it with 94 octane Chevron and reset the ECU. Its learning.

Very slight hint of exhaust noise if I have my windows down. Stock sounding if windows up.

just did a transmission and differential oil change, and for some reason the transmission drain plug didnt have gasket on it. i even looked in the oil catch bucket to see if had fell in there and it wasnt. luckily i had already order a new set of gaskets in advance.

Look carefully. The factory gasket tends to stuck to the drain plug looking like part of the plug. This happened to me.
