I finally finished the work today. Aside from a small leak in one of the heater hoses, everything is trouble free (I was most worried about the CoolFlex hose leaking where it attaches to the engine, since the clamp there is almost impossible to see and tighten). The leak will be fixed tomorrow

Rick, if I may ask, where did you purchase the front strut tower brace from? Also, is there a noticeable difference in chassis rigidity if I added the front and rear strut tower brace, and x brace under the car?
Thanks
Thanks

Rick,
What did you use to cover the crossbrace that sits below the stock airbox. Do
you know what the dimensions are and how did you attach it? That was the one thing I didn't like about installing a CAI - that brace looks pretty ugly.
