What model manifolds are you running? |

Please excuse the headlights, but I found a chin spoiler that fits a standard. |

Thanks man! That's way too deep for my application sadly. I would love something much more subtle. Just may have to make my own some day, could be a fun project. I've never laid up carbon fiber before... |

Apron is off! What a PITA. Not nearly as big a PITA as disassembling and reassembling the engine in the engine bay Attachment: Attachment: Attachment: Attachment:

Not much to report here. The motor is ready to come out. The oil is drained and everything is disconnected, just the 4 bolts remaining. Guess I need to get my engine stand back from my neighbor so I don't have to put it on the floor lol |
