Main emblems are from OEM Auto Art...I had a matte black inlay in the ST emblem but it still had the chrome surround. Popped it off, pulled the red inlay out, sanded and sprayed the chrome in gloss black then put another matte black inlay in to match.
Yes, I get bored easily. B34BFFFC-F406-4210-AFD6-430C5C35E0F1.jpeg

How easy does the red inlay pop out?

It’s just a thick sticker basically. I used the edge of an exacto knife to slide under it and pop it out then some acetone to clean off the glue.

Teaching myself how to wrap stuff. I used transparent Vvivid air release film and knifeless tape to wrap the top of the heads to hide the chrome. I think it’s too dark so I’m gonna order a lighter smoke. It’s not perfect but I like figuring things out so maybe the next shot will be better...

What side of the light did you start on? Or did you find a side that was easier?

After I put the tape lines down I started on the biggest part then used a heat gun to help stretch it into place around the front.

Might be a dumb question but did you precut the vinyl before applying or place a larger piece on, stretch then trim?

Big piece trimmed around the edges with a knife and knifeless tape for the line across the lens.

So this OBDLink app is pretty sweet. Took a while to figure out how to build the gauges out and this is as close as I could get to the Sport layout but I dig it. Everything seems to work fine and it seems plenty fast. Their MX+ Bluetooth adapter to make it work was about 100 bucks.

Just picked this adapter up. Do I also need a cable to run Forscan or does this do the trick?

Misfire on cylinder 4 after the plug swap.
So I followed normal protocol...swap coils 4 and 5...misfire stayed with 4. Pulled plug...insulator is good, plug is wet...definitely not firing.
Now get THIS shit. The sensor plugged into the hose for the PCV is the EXACT SAME PLUG and they’re right next to each other. I had them all undone to make room to work and got them flipped. Learn from my mistake if you’re swapping plugs.
