Here is one of my entries........The gutter guard Cove Vent Trick. I Went to Home Depot and picked up a piece of the metal mesh gutter guard for $1.89
and a two part epoxy setup for $3.98.
Took the wheels off, loosened up the inner fender. Made a template out of cardboard then cut the gutter guard with a pair of tin snips.
Bent the mesh into the correct position, test fitted then painted it satin black. I used some type of double sided sticky stuff to hold the piece in place until I could get it epoxied. I used the 5 minute set up epoxy, so it set quick and hard in place. I think they turned out great.

Still want to do skip-shift fix, shifter replacement and HID bulbs. Maybe lower it.

I'll play. The car has been kept understated and extremely mild even with 577 normally aspirated HP at the wheels and 530 RWT. Low end torque makes the car a dream to drive. It's entirely schizophrenic. Mild just driving around and violently quick when it's time to play.
