My new parts and a new body mod.

I finally installed my new APS plenum and strut bar. I had them powdercoated metallic blue to match the intake before installing them. I also had to modify the heck out of my CF engine cover in order to reuse it. While I was in there, I installed a homemade catch can (it's attached to the strut bar in the pics). This is the same homeade catch can I've been using on all of my cars for many years. Works great and costs under $15. Here's the pics:

Here's my new body mod.... courtesy of one 80 year old guy not looking behind him before backing out of his parking space. This is the second time I've been hit and I've only had the car for 3 months:

I always thought that due to the big volume, the APS plenum was better for FI cars than NA...

The color shift is probably due to the fact that it was overcast that day.

The camera is a Cannon Elura 60.

Re: body mod.

I just talked to the other guy's insurance. Seems the guy changed his mind about who's fault it was. He backed into me and admitted it was his fault when it happened, but he told his insurance company that I rear-ended him. I just got an estimate.. $957. I also just got off the phone with my attorney. He's going to send a 30 day demand letter. If the guy doesn't pay up, it's off to small claims.
