Project FXT

Unlike the WRX, I will start this one off from the beginning. Project will be clean DD FXT.

Took it in and had it checked out at Mann Engineering. It needs a few things, and not so minor cost wise, but nothing major indicated. For the mileage, sort of expected (valve cover gaskets, front axle which I knew about, etc...)

Headlights were pretty bad, but I thought I might be able to clean them up and it came out pretty good IMO (posted before, but adding here too)

Alternator cover was completely broken and vibrating around, so ordered subtle one.

While I was talking to them, I got a deal on these two:
Scoop

Splitter


Those are because of this:

LOL. Yellow Lamin-x for fogs should be here today. WeatherTech digital fit front and rear mats in the next day or so. Already swapped the dome, cargo area, third brake light with LEDs, Silverstar Ultra headlights, swapped my STI duracon shift **** over. Picked the Brembos up, but somehow managed to leave them in my friend's trunk , but those will likely wait a bit to go on anyway since I need to get more things to do that anyway (sst lines, pads, rotors, etc...)

That one is not so clean It is about 2 years old. Still cleaner than the rest of this engine bay though.
