Finally got around the fixing the kink hose going to the radium catch can. Could be placebo effect but I feel the car Rans smoother now. Tips for those installing hoses. Vaseline is a great lubricate in a pinch!

Also put on the cf cover I got in the trade awhile back. The engine bay still looks a little plain to me. Debating whether to paint the engine cover blue or gold

I was able to buff it out for the most part but it did scratch the paint pretty deep in a small area. It knocked the grill out of place and it also managed to screw up my front turn signal bulb, least i think it's the bulb. The turn signal flashes fast everywhere except for the front, it's on but doesn't blink. Going to double check that later and order new bulbs if needed.

Did you check the blinker fluid?

Now that you mention it, i noticed levels were low. I bought some at the store but the guy said to pour the bottle into my gas tank for some reason. I did it but now my car won't start.

I just watched a youtube video of a guy with a jeep instruct people how to replace blinker fluid. Not one mention of a joke. Drilled a hole into his jeep's tail lights and put some oil in it.

Pretty awesome, not going to lie. He had to have trolled someone.
