More updates. Installed LED reverse bulbs and had the common problem of, the reverse camera being stuck on and lights dim when car was off. Got the idea from a thread on here, but ordered some 200ohm 2watt resistors, soldered to my bulb and fixed all my issues. Very clean install. No splicing required and no big heat sink bricks waiting to cause a fire.

I changed out the side markers for some LED smoked ones, I like the look a lot better than the standard ones with just a small bulb.

Changed out my brake pads for some powerstop ones. I'm getting sick of cleaning the brake dust and frankly I don't need max performance for driving this thing on the street. The brakes still work better than 95% of the cars out there with the powerstop pads. I was amazed at how easy it was the swap them out. The one picture shows the powerstop pad over top of my OEM pad. My car has the BCD option so the front rotors/pads are slightly different. The annulus on the inner portion of pad is slightly wider on the powerstop pads, meaning there will be a small sliver near the base of the rotor that doesn't get used. Will this be an issue? I doubt it. As mentioned in another post it equates to 3mm of a wear ring. Over 15 years I may not be able to put the OEM pads back on because the rotors will be worn down, but I feel if I ever go to the track and want the OEM pads back in, I can throw them in for the track day. The outer annulus on the power stops are the same as the OEM pads, actually a little larger. The OEM pads get wider once you get down to the end of their life, the powerstops start out that big right away.

I also ceramic coated the calipers and the rims, should help with keeping everything clean.

I got my 3d floor mats installed. They fit awesome and would highly recommend over the weather techs. Will post picture soon.

Next steps are:
Ceramic coating the rest of the car.
Source out everything I need to make an expansion tank set up for the super charger system.
Green air filter possibly?
Radar mount and wiring is on order, to install off mirror. Got idea from another thread on here.

I installed my radar detector mount and mirror tap wire tonight. Got the idea from CCutaia1 on this thread.
Very clean and I couldn't be happier with it. Read my post in the thread for additional info.

Also a pic of my 3d floor mats.

Installed a green filter air filter, and removed the “snow guards” from behind the grill. Opens up the airflow a lot better. I will never drive this thing in the snow so made sense to me.

Also got everything done on my expansion tank install.
$30 for tank, $15 for cap, $34 in hoses, $12 in clamps and fittings. $20 in heat shielding and the bracket I made at work. Saved me a few bucks over spending 300+ tax on the LSA conversions kit.

Also forgot to mention I removed the sound plate from my super charger lid. I notice a little more whine now, I’m sure the green filter was a little part of that.

Your new mods look very familiar. LOL!

Got any pictures of the snow guards you removed? Not sure what those are. I'm familiar with the rain guard in front of the intake. Not sure if that is what you are referring to.

Thanks for the help! Between your photos and the ones on LSA's website I was able to get everything I needed. The hardest part was getting the cap for the container. I ordered 12 different ones through amazon with free returns before I found the correct one.
I will snag a picture of them tonight. They are underneath the front main hood latch shroud, guards are in behind the grill beside the headlight kind of.


Here is the thread on it. Post#20 is where the details start.
