Default Z1 Tubes and breathers installed...

I just have to laugh at my DIY install of these tubes.

My car has proven to be the white devil and you would assume it thought I was trying to take it to the dentist.

I took out the strut brace and the two 10mm bolts holding down the air boxes.

I'm 2.5hrs into this 99% done, but what a bitch these are.

The biggest issue was the breather hoses after the tubes themselves which you have to get hulk angry on and cut up your fingers from slipping ever now and then on something sharp in the process.

Fitment of the breather hoses is 80% at best, they just are a struggle to lineup.

When I say 99% done it's because now I have to figure out how to the two 10mm bolts out of the engine bay undercarriage, and my socket wrench out of the front bumper *face Palm*.

I was buttoning up the cover and managed to bump the wrench down the center hole cutout where the hood latches. As for the bolts, the metal is so soft they stripped, popped out of the wrench and down into the abyss they went. FML.
