Default Spring mod day

I've been collecting small mods for a while now, and today I finally got everything installed. Car is just about finished (just getting a carbon racing seat in a couple of months, then it will be complete.

Here's the front, finally got the bumper plugs:




Overall shot of the engine bay:




Close up shot of my carbon radiator cooling panel, along with custom intake duct:




Another shot:




Duct routed to front bumper:




Krank vents:




Odyssey PC680MJT:




And lastly, gutted trunk/spare:



Also got a Voodoo alluminum shift knob, but no pic.


Overall, shed over 50 pounds, gained a few horsepower, and it'll run better on hot days where bogging would have been an issue. Fun little mod-fest

p.s. If anyone wants to try out this intake, I'll post links to where I got the stuff/instructions. It wasn't all that hard, and the duct with carbon cooling panel only cost me a bit over $160, so you get the benefit of a snorkel without the expense/pinch where it goes over the radiator (the reason I didn't want one).

nice. good job on the weight loss. i took out the spare and tools from the trunk but didn't take out the spare cover cuz i dont think that really saves much weight and it makes the trunk look cleaner.

anyway, thumbs up to fellow sebring.

btw, how much weight does the battery save? i want one.
