Pat, I have the mother of all impact wrenches, if you wanna do the B-pipe out here too. If that mother doesn't break it loose, nothing will! Oh, and the angle grinder goes through muffler bolts like a fat kid at a pie eating contest!

Had the day off today, found some extra CCL laying around, some extending wires and soldering, zip ties and 3m double sided tape later I have footwell lights that come on with the dome.

Also found a aux plug from a Lexus driving event gift bag and an old muVo 2gb player with music already loaded on so that's in there too.

Yay free mods!
