I want to keep it CF, i didn't wait 5 weeks to get it filled and end up color matching to my car. I need to find someone around here that can fix cf.

Damn maybe he should take responsibility for that then rather than blaming the shipping company.

On an unrelated note, happy canada day to my fellow Canadians here!!

Well after all it is a big ass hood, and it get thrown from truck to truck when being shipped. Its a little column A and a little column B. When I order my mugen visors from japan there was a 6 inch gash in the box.

Shipping people don't give a shit.

Cleaned my filter for my HPS intake today. At some point between Tuesday and today, it came off the pipe. The car felt bogged down and there was a vibrating sound, so I guess that solves that! Checked the MAF sensor and it was clean, so I'm not worried.

A slight mod to my airbox. At first I had just done a small hole in the top of the snorkel (by removing the bolted top section and using a 1/2" drill bit), but didn't like the vibration it caused. Figured there was no going back anyways with this box, so I just went to town and cut the entire right side off. It has a nice sound now and no noticeable loss in mpg (I do mostly hwy so not much stop and go).



Please excuse the dirty engine bay, it just rained and I am only washing about once a week with the drought here in So Cal.

Installed a 3rd brake light flashing module.

Flashes 5 times when I step on the brake bit won't deactivate if I step on the brake within 10 seconds. So no constant flashing when I'm in traffic.

Pics?

Is it the triangle led style or is the module for the existing 3rd brake light?

It uses the existing LED 3rd brake light, but its a small module that fits inside the housing.

I don't have a picture because its hard to take a photo of it flashing, because you have to be on the brake.

Here is the one I bought.
Amazon.com : Vehicle Brake Light Flasher Module. Safety Flash Light Alert. Universal : Automotive Electronic Flashers : Car Electronics Amazon.com : Vehicle Brake Light Flasher Module. Safety Flash Light Alert. Universal : Automotive Electronic Flashers : Car Electronics

Super easy to install and worth every penny.

The air filter sits on a ridge so I made my own intake by removing the whole bottom. you cant tell its been modified at all and has a great little sound to it now.
