Feel like I wasted money, and time chopping up my stock air box for nothing. Also I have a lot of dirt at the bottom of the airbox... My 02 Sensors were done at 90K(at 120 now) so not really thinking that's an issue. I have spark plugs and wires, which will get done soon but as I said car runs great, I don't think new sparks/wires will make much a difference.
What kind of a filter did you install?

Began de-badging and de-*****ing the car from PO.
Stripped wheels, painted silver. Took off painted emblems along with overspray. Took off aftermarket molding along sides of the car. Cleaned/buffed headlights.

Oh, and I found out that my driver's rear hub has one stripped stud and another loose.

I ordered LED headlights, pink LED's for the exterior and a new steering rack.

I might order some new mufflers, sway bar bushings, and a few other things today.

Thanks to the relentless snow one of my windshield wiper arms broke. The gear inside the passenger arm stripped, and the blade bent so I picked up new blades and took an arm off my parts SC. Turns out a few of the notches on the outer gear stripped as well and now my passenger wiper hands a little lower then normal. I resprayed both arms satin black as well as the nut that holds them in place. Also rewired the headlight bulb on the passenger side, and put new headlight bulbs in.

Anyone know the process of changing the gear under the wiper arm? The one the arm connects to? I have a spare SC I can figure it out I suppose, but just by the look of it, it looks like a pain in the ***.

I also treated my speaker grills with new UV Protected cloth all around. Deep black, 100% acoustic transparency, looks factory fresh.

Put in my black driver's door panel to finish most of the black interior swap. Now just the steering wheel/column plastic!
