Question.... to take the passenger seat out, anything special to do? Special procedure for anything electric due to airbto or any thing else. Just unbolt and unplug or more to it?
Edited, as per forum rules.

Changed the belt last night for the first time. Straightforward but required patience and a few expletives while trying to wrestle and route the new belt into position.

You should sell me your Speed Yellow Turbo so you never have to wrestle or swear again.

Got the new bumper back from paint and swapped over all the grills. Removed the old hardwired radar and laser sensor heads while I had the bumper off. Also decided to install the rennline mesh grill protectors. Install wasn't too bad but they do create some interference with the ducts when going back on, requiring a bit more effort and pull to line things up. If I take the bumper off again, I will adjust the clips. I will say trying to get the temp sensor mounted with the mesh in place is a PITA

@mrdstr the rennline grill protectors install is on my to do list. Do you feel there are ideal locations to place the retaining clips to limit the interference?

Just make sure you get the clip as deep as you can into the channel between the grill opening and the bumper body. That is where the ducts go, so if the clip is too shallow it interferes. From what I can tell, there will be some interference regardless, but the deeper you can seat the clip, the better.

Replaced the fuel filter and installed new AEM 340lph fuel pump and adapter. Also changed the rubber hoses in the tank. I tried to change the hard plastic submersible hoses too but they were really tight. Don't think heating them up were an option. Don't think they fail often.
