Sorry man, I didn't even see the pm. The oil breather was given to me by a friend. It's a no-name brand that just happened to fit. I wish I had a source to speak of...

Frickin gorgeous, I wish I knew how to do that.

Question on the hood. I have a WS6 but with the Firehawk hood, so the nose of my hood doesn't sit on my bumper like a WS6 hood does. It looks so much better when that little part of the bumper flows with the hood, any idea on what I can do to fix this?

Yeah, look at where my bumper meets the hood. It comes with a badge that takes care of any "flow" problems. Try and get one off ebay. They always have 'em if you search under "firehawk."

I stripped all the loom, seperated all the injector wires and avoided bunching things, wrapping in electrical tape, and on one side at the very back of the engine I looped some excess wrapped wires tip-tied them in a nice bundle.

Plus, moving the coils really changes the look of the engine. The pcv is nothing but an oil-sucking headache, so it's gone too.
