    So today was a big day, I finally got the last round of mods in.



    LRB Speed tray. I ended up not putting on the side wings as my air duct for the bumper was AAAALLLLL messed up and thus my bumper was super misaligned. I'll maybe put them on at a later date after the bumper adjusts itself. Or maybe when I get a new bumper. Time will tell.

    I think the reason it was so messed up was that it ate one too many cones on the auto-X course... I had to scrounge some hardware to get it bolted back like factory with the 2 bolts going from the duct to the frame and the 3 going from the bumper to the duct. I had to cut some of the bolts though...



    Dremel decided to take a walk on me and my thumb knuckle was in the path. This was the last bolt to attach it though so some neosporin, a *slightly* clean strip off a rag, some zip-ties and a little bit of duct tape and I was back under the car. It was like 11pm too so I was tired.

    After that I had a few more little mods I wanted to do before tackling the big project.

    But I have a confession to make... I, Brap-Brap, am a ricer...



    Hood pins and NO removal of stock latch. Actually I saw a buddy's 240 hood fly open on him while he was running the Auto-X recently and that made me paranoid. $40 later and some Sparco Hood Pins were in my possession. Got them the day after I ordered them too (Thanks Jegs). Just some extra security for my hood.

    I also had all these stickers from Formula Drift and various parts purchases and I wanted to do something... but I didn't want an obvious sticker bomb...



    So I had an idea... Stealth rice or stealth reppin' or stealth sticker bomb, whatever you wanna call it.



    Trunk off, cut and trimmed sheet of Coroplast.



    Little dots of some 3M heavy duty doubled sided tape...



    Final product.

    Also got a Garage Star offset plate bracket.
