I would love to see this and know what you use to do that. I like the black, but would really be interested in what that looks like.

@GlobalPilot777 try the steering wheel as well.
The center and bottom are both decals.
I also did the seats with decals.
I bought extra if you are interested happy to pass along the cost.

I was planning to do the 3rd cat delete and valve controller myself but this got me worried.. What does a "cheater" bar do btw?
A cheater bar is usually an extra-long wrench or a piece of pipe that slides over your wrench handle to give you extra leverage.
Here's an example of an extended-length wrench that I use.
If you're going to do any of your own wrenching, it's worth it to go to Harborfreight and get a breaker bar. I have two; a 1/2" and a 3/8". They're easier to use, and don't risk ruining a ratchet. I even bought a set of impact sockets so I don't have to worry about ruining one of my regular ones. All of that including sockets was less than $100. Well worth having when you need one.
I replaced the annoying touch controls with proper physical buttons.

Yes, but can it play reindeer games?
Clearly not. It has a red nose.
We all know the red-nosed genetic outcast is not to be played with in case the syndrome is contagious.

As others have said.. It's an extra long bar that goes over your wrenches to give you more leverage.. I had a 4ft one and I really had to use a TON of effort to get the pipe extender to expand the opening of the GRP so it fit snug..
My friend did buy me lunch and I got to work on the car and learn a bunch as well.. So it was worth it.
Just curious, did you use a torch to heat up the end of the pipe you were trying to expand?
I pulled out of the garage without remembering the batter tender was plugged in. Only the CTEK quick connector was damaged as the wires were pulled from the terminal, but I'm not sure I can repair it.

So what you are saying is that you took initial steps to upgrade to a Noco charger. Nice!I pulled out of the garage without remembering the batter tender was plugged in. Only the CTEK quick connector was damaged as the wires were pulled from the terminal, but I'm not sure I can repair it.

I always hang a lanyard on the rear view mirror when plugged into the CTEK as a reminder.I pulled out of the garage without remembering the batter tender was plugged in. Only the CTEK quick connector was damaged as the wires were pulled from the terminal, but I'm not sure I can repair it.

I didn't.. The end of the pipe is pretty thick and also didn't want to try this.. Wasn't mine and I thought based on other readings that the pipe would expand easier..
How much difference did this make in the sound heard inside while driving?

Yea would love to get your thoughts on this. I don't mind adding weight if it makes sense. I thought about doing the doors for road noise as well.
