BTW where is your engine cover?
As we speak i'm doing an engine oil/trans/diff and coolant flush becuase the dealer put green coolant in there. Everything is super clean though. Slight leak from oil pan and tranny, gotta look into that, Oil pan gasket does not look fun to replace. The dealer had replaced the starter before I got the car so I guess they misplaced the engine cover, will get that soon. Shocks are from 99 so they are blown, I have OEM replacements on the way. And the green **** is just a universal battery terminal, again all dealer junk that will be off soon. Then the new LED tails and whatever else I can think of. My friend just did a photo shoot with his DSLR so ill post those pics up in a few.

I believe that with the **** you can disconnect the battery by turning it halfway without taking off the terminals.
