good stuff man, you know, its nasty as sh1t initially, but when it hardens, its golden.

I haven't had any condensation issues again after that first day.

Whenever I swap out those headlight lenses I'm gonna have the shop clean up the giant mess 'o butyl sealant inside the hood too because giant globs of black crap don't generally show well

I've been playing around with the "best offer" function on ebay trying to snatch up lenses. If I can get a pair before the 22nd, I'll have them swapped out when my wheels get done and I can go back to being anal retentive about the car.

Only things left I'd be interested in are sways and maybe a lightweight pulley although I have no idea what the pulley does.

Yeah just sways and maybe some wheels left for me. Pulleys will give you a couple more HP, but not worth the trouble unless you're SC'd. You might gain like 2-3 hp if anything, not worth it IMO.
