Looks good. With a little bondo and sanding you can blend into one piece with no edge protruding

Gave my interior some attention...vacuumed it and laid down some 303 Protectant. Got an early morning drive tomorrow and I can't wait.

took her to the canyons to see how they do and I'm very impressed, car feels like a new animal!

Was screwing around in the engine bay and found this connector just hanging out. Anybody know what it's for? Looks like it's never been used.






Anyway since I'm still waiting for my exhaust I had nothing better to do so... Cleaned it and modified an APR CF Cooling Plate to fit, fooled around with a ZSpeed engine bay kit I've had laying around since forever and also "fixed" my inner door handles and gauge pod covers with Evo-R stuff.

Before:


And after:



Evo-R stuff:

@Swede- Love those camel colored seats!

So I decided to add a few lbs of weight to my body ala ChargeSpeed skirts and 1/4s. ( 2nd hand from a brother w a partout due to baby otw).

Quarters are cf painted black with rash from road debris. Gonna Plasti-Dip forward portion for gravel protection. Skirts are clear cf, gonna wrap Gloss Black to match.



And yes, hood and trunk up is how you keep the wife's cats off your paint!

I have a set laying around, was trying to sell them but am thinking I might just end up keeping them at this point...

Drove car to foxwoods, gave them a bunch of money and then drive it home.

It's hard to tell from the picture but its actually 2 midpipes bolted together and sideways... Cut just right, and slid over and clamped into the oem truck exhaust...

After fighting with it for hours I had come to the conclusion that my cheap *** should have just purchased the correct exhaust... But it worked and hopefully will now pass inspection.
