Lol, yes. I can just imagine trying to explain that it isn't, so keep it out of sight.

Getting closer

Hello All,

So yesterday I found out that the replacement brake master cylinder I just installed a week ago is no good, so it was either drive to Brooklyn to get a used 2015 brake booster with master cylinder and reservoir for $280 plus gas, tolls, and a stop at Peter Luger's $$$$, but I feel like garbage today so I stayed home and ordered a brand new master cylinder from Bentley of Edison for $265 overnight, missing the Ribeye and a scotch though...

Okay, so here are some pictures putting all the wheel house liners in, impressive the rears take 12 screws each.

Another fire up video before I put the AWE exhaust on, some pictures of the exhaust.

I had an issue with the front left suspension level sensor and the strut valve, as both gave a fault code for a problem in the electrical circuit of each, I was just about to pull apart my wiring on that side when I thought, hey those two plugs have the exact same plug end, remember someone here in the past was asking what that extra plug was for, well, I just happened to plug the wrong one in, I swapped them and the strut fault is gone, the level sensor itself was faulty, as it has four wires and apparently performed two readings, one for the actual height, and the other a variation measurement, the variation reading was displayed properly, but the height measured zero, I swapped one in from the parts car and all is working as should be, but still have that extra plug also..

Oh, and yes, replaced the plastic gas cap with this beauty !

I need help if anyone can tell me what the three wires are for, I am stumped.

Does anyone want the rear mufflers, free, just shipping.


Johnny

No, not at all, the headlights are different, as well as a completely redesigned fender to encompass to headlights completely, whereas the older fenders and bumpers met at the center of the headlights, the newer bumper is a much smaller piece below the fenders.

Looking good!

You've inspired me to finally remove and replace a (U.S. model passenger side) fender and bumper and your pic/videos are helpful. Was wondering how to get to those back mounts on the fenders and I'm relieved to see they are studs.

Any tips you think of when replacing the items for either removal or replacement would be greatly appreciated. (particularly around the headlight washers and little bolts between the lights)

Looking forward to seeing that xclusive front bumper on your car, if that's the one you're going with.

Very nice! It would be interesting to hear a short synopsis of the whole job. Time, parts, cost, labor and desire (why)?
It looks like you have been at it for more than 4 years.

Great job, Johnny! What an incredible challenge you have taken upon yourself to complete.

Are those smoked tail lights? I just happened to catch a glimpse of them in your video.

Also, that fuel cap, would you happen to have a model number for it?
