FRCs *FINALLY* installed. About 35 mins of cut, fit, rinse, repeat. I did probably cut more than I needed to for the power steering reservoir. I was trying to fit that side way too high & I had made two cuts before I realized it. Tomorrow I'll go clean up the cuts.
Cleaning the K&N too. Man, it did NOT want to come off. Drying now. Oil tomorrow.
Yes, I know my bay is dirty . . .

Holy cow Laygo, your engine bay looks like you took the V offroading! Haha
Btw, when you clean her up you may want to take that battery cover off too... It helps the bay look much better unless you get a brand new battery cover! Also I noticed your personalized ”Laygo LS2” badge and would love to know were you got it? Everything looking great bud!

I did take the V offroading, back in late Sept. It was some scary **** on a 1 lane 1.5 mile long dirt road driving thru puddles not knowing how deep they were. See the pic of the car next to tents I previously posted.
What's the best way to clean the engine bay? I've heard of, douse it with Simply Green while it's hot, let it soak for a few, then rinse with a hose. How do car lots do it when they're trying to sell it?
