Thursday evening. Pilot Sport AS3+ installed on Friday morning. Been looking forward to this for a while. Click on photo for video. If anyone would like to share how to get a video to show from Flickr, I'd be most grateful. What a pain in the a@@.

I want to do this tube delete soon myself, cleaner engine bay is desirable. I installed "redline hood struts" from LMR. Texas is so great, 2 day delivery!

Lmr might be more expensive with a few things, but i love getting my stuff sometimes the next day.

I removed the Roush hood vents after I couldn't start my car due the rain water leaking to my Roush intake . What a joke. The left vent was directing the stream of water directly onto the filter. Had to take it apart , dry it and erased the code.
Anybody wants to buy them , CHEAP! LOL

Same here. Rubber leg up front and a free cap from the dealer in the back. I just did the twist off method to pop it off. There is a body builder girl that has a YouTube video where she discovers you can just twist it off and not have to screw with the bolt.

Wait so I don't even have to unscrew the bolt? I can just take it off and leave the bolt there? That seems to be the hardest part from what I've seen/read, especially if you have a strut tower brace. Hm, now I'm more inclined to do it haha

I used a flexible extension screwdriver with a 3/8 socket bit and a deep socket. That worked well.

Went and did the Thunder Hill 3 Mile the other day. The car performed great in the 107° heat. Here's a pic of one of my friends track prepped 550 hp toy as well as a new friend. A lot more pix can be found on my build thread as well as more footage.

Yup, just twist and pull.



No damage to the tube either.

I followed Boombas video and did it right! It’s as simple and easy as it gets! If you’re gonna do something.....do it right!! :cheers::cheers: I had my own delete kit!

Yes, no damage to the tube. Part of the bracket is still attached to the firewall, notice the ragged edge of the hole where the bolt goes through when she lifts it up. It works for sure as others have ripped it off. Just takes a little longer to do it right and if you wait until you need a tire rotation you can do both tasks at once.

The nut is easy to get to with the inner fender dropped, the bolt is long so you will need a deep socket. I'm thinking the proper size plug is better than tape.

Mine isn't even ragged. I was surprised. I had a harder time getting the mid pushpin out.

The plug was is easy enough to get at the dealer. Although it felt like a rather firm diaphragm was just behind the hole.

Guys...as I said... follow the boom a video! No sweat, not bloody knuckles, nothing left hangin in the wind!!! Simple and straight forward!! :cheers:

The window louver trim was placed on the car. All I can get for now is garage pics due to heavy rain. I'll get some better ones when we see some sunshine.

So......simulated window louvers..aka the Limited Edition cars? :cheers:

 

[K-Roll302]

It's been humid and raining since spraying the rear window louver trim but the paint has finally cured and ready to polish.

Where'd you get those??

Cleaned her up and put blue pinstripes along outer edge of silver stripes.

I got a chrome decal sheet and decorated the pony logo under the hood. Choosing to go with chrome was a bit.... optimistic, considering my lack of good tools or experience. That being said, I think it actually came out pretty good! Just don't look too close....
