I'll take pictures of both when i get the chance.
Yesterday the CEL came on because of the test pipe & my inspection was over due.
I did the non-fouler o2 sensor bypass trick, reset the CEL and drove around to get the ecu "ready" for the emissions test.
This morning I passed
Was a straight forward install. I only used one.
Dorman - Help Spark Plug Non-Foulers - 18mm Gasket Seat (Part No. 42009) from advance auto.
I bought these AP2 door panels from an s2ki member (S2KIOEParts). They were in great shape.
I decided to do the red stitch mod.
Needle and thread from Walmart. Mod cost = less than $4.
AP1 VS AP2. People say that the AP2's give you a little more leg room. I haven't noticed.
Upgraded the factory speakers. Had to mess around with the factory bracket to fit but it wasn't too bad.
Doing the passenger door panel, wiring the subwoofer & amplifier later today.

It rained yesterday while I was driving around. Car wash during lunch.
I always forget to take a picture of the rear diffuser installed.
Note to self: stop wearing shorts with velcro back pockets, they are ripping up your seats.
Flat black for now, until I redo/tuck everything.

Found time to install my 5-point yesterday. It took longer then I expected.
Front legs were easy. The rears were a bitch. There was no clearance at all.
I literally had to climb into the trunk and feel the holes to put the bolts in.
Needed to removed the rear control arms to have more room to drill up.
Still need to cut the rear aprons for a better fit.
Shot of the cockpit. AP2 center console installed.
Plan on doing the soft top speed sensor bypass. Looks easy.
