What did you do to your Sedan today?

Did you enlarge the inlets, or just shove the rubber elbows in there? And did you get the splash shield?
I've never removed my front bumper, but was under the impression that to do a solid job with the Takeda, it helps to remove the bumper. (And that with the Stillen Gen3, you have to remove it.) I've always though that someday I would transition from the R2C to the Takeda, but the whole bumper thing keeps walking me back from the project.

But I genuinely do have a good first impression of the larger trim piece. Over the last few years, I remember seeing a pic of someone who applied an orange/amber wrap in a bushed metallic design. Always liked that. Makes me think about playing with wrap here as well.
Anyway, good job.

Addition: I am a pretty small 22 year old so it may have been a bit easier for me to get around with limited space but still cut up my hands a bit i was even able to get the mounts for the front tubes in which suprised me had to mess with them a bit it seemed the mounts were too small so took a lot of work to get them to connect.
I do have to say tho the feeling of doing something yourself makes me just want to learn what i can and keep going next up in about 2,000 miles ill attempt my first oil change hahaha

Not to belabor the point, but here's why I said what I did. That funky pattern on that wrap is larger than the thin bezel of shifter trim. Since you can't see the pattern, it looks awkward. Kind of sticker-bombed. I think sticker bombing came and went years ago (good riddance).

I've had the Takeda for 2 years now. No splash shield, and no issues, but I also don't make a habit of driving through standing water

Dropping the front bumper is not really that difficult. Takes about 30 minutes to do and no special tools are required. You can actually just un bolt it from the fenders on either side and the remove all of the plastic clips along the front edge where it connects to the radiator support and just leave it connected to the lower air diffuser This still gives you plenty of space to get behind it and do what you need to do. Here's a pic of my front bumper dropped this way when I installed my headlights.

My local Firestone never gave me any hassle about my lifetime alignment though. They also never gave me a really good alignment and their printer was always "broken." They weren't willing to dig in as far as was necessary with all the new adjustable parts, I think, and had the camber bolts adjusted all the way in already and it wasn't enough. I finally went to the shop where I have my mechanical work done and paid them (more) for an alignment when I got new tires and they did it right. My AS3's are wearing beautifully.
