lol thanks man. Yeah it looks a little odd to me too. I wanted to mount it further forward, but these are the old-style rail grabbers that wrap all the way around the rail, and they won't fit any further up. I'm gonna keep cruising CL for a fairing, though I'm not sure if it will help the looks

Down side to using 75x is the gauge light is on any time the key is on and that means it is on even during the day which is pointless and just using up the bulb. It should be wired into the dash lights or the parking lights. Using the dash/vent lights the gauge light can be dimmed with the rest of the lights.

I was about to say all you need is a fairing, until I saw you already went there.
And I just got that cel sticker! ihatestickers.com? Shoot now I have to put it somewhere other than the back of my car haha

And today I picked up some rubberized underbody paint for advance auto parts to respray my no longer black rear tow hook. Some serious modzz

Technically it was yesterday since it's 1am, but I did remove the following in advance of an engine swap:
Headlights
bumper
Turbo inlet/air filter
DV
radiator support
turbo oil return line
intake manifold
coolant reservoir
coolant flange
breather system
drained oil & coolant

Still planning on what exactly I need to remove completely or leave in place since I have some time and have to wait for thread sealant to cure.

lol yep. got all of them from there. I need a few more to fill out that side of the back window, but i don't wanna get too crazy with it.

I wanna paint my towhook a random funky color, probably going to do that this weekend while i'm spraying my new headlight washer cap.

I decided on my summer wheel color



Also emptied my catch can, might reroute it though, because I kinda want it to be the lowest point

Catch can should sit as high as possible.
