Do you carry around a battery-powered drill to take out those six allen-heads each time you fill up? Of course, just kidding - it looks really cool!

As long as the plastic string doesn't break off from my gas cap, I have no complaints. It's one of the under appreciated things in life ever since I lost the gas cap on my geo metro in high school.

Houndstooth seat inserts. Something I’ve wanted for years. Tried to get them on my Club Coupe, but that wasn’t allowed. Very happy with the result. Totally indulgent. Driver side installed.

Cool! Out of curiosity, how long did the install take? Any particularly difficult parts or need any special tools?

Install took me two days only because IPD sent me a badly cut Y-hose and I had to wait for them to overnight me a new part. That aside, being careful and taking my time, ~4 hours. No special tools needed, just patience and taking your time to wiggle out and wiggle in the plenum. The DIY link below helped me a lot. Also, if you are not a 6' and 225lbs, being wedged in the trunk to do the work wouldn't be so bad... Feel free to PM me if you have questions with the install.

IMO...I think the worst part is getting the plenum in and out. Those elliptical rubber bands and tight space to work don't make it easy. But as mentioned being careful and taking your time goes a long way. My only complaint about this mod it not having a place on the rear of the plenum to bolt the sensor all of us had to tie down in that area.

The trick/tip I can offer with the elliptical rubber bands is to spray just a little bit of WD40 between the band and plenum. That will make it easier to wiggle free one side and then you can pull it up freeing the plenum from the other band and intake hose. When installing the IPD plenum, I greased the bands with a dab of Vasoline to help with wiggling it into place. Wish IPD designed tabs so the sensors or vacuum control unit can just snap into place vs zip ties to secure them.
