I finally installed my carbon signal rear diffuser for the 15+ nimso...I have been putting it off because I wanted to have it flush, but ended up getting motivated and installed with 1" spacers. I'm so happy the whole lip kit is now installed.

Diffuser looks good. I finally ordered Sprint Booster today. Should arrive early next week. Was able to get a 10% discount. Hot Rod Z

Went out for a paltry 325 mile spin along the Mississippi River.. they built a new bridge at Savanna/Sebula, and since I've already crossed near all the bridges over the Mississippi i was like "oh! this opportunity comes across once every 10 years or so.. gotta action it." Did so and completed some unfinished parts of the Lincoln Highway National Scenic Byway on the way back.

Brought with a temp gun; am pleased to report to the forum that after wrapping my Y-pipe, readings of the floor pan/trans hump never exceeded 89*F during a 7 hour somewhat-spirited drive with ambient temps ranging from 70*F to 50*F. Sadly, I don't have temp readings from before I wrapped the pipe; that being said, the passenger compartment was noticeably cooler. A box of wrap costs $15 on Amazon. This mod is very high on the cost/benefit curve, and I recommend you do it.

Be sure to buy the thin metal zip ties, not the fat ones. Fatties couldn't grip on the curved pipe - take that however you'd like.

Yes, definitely don't forget the tool. I forgot the tool. Saw some smoke coming off the pipes when I started her up; realized the source was all the blood I'd lost on those ties.

Most responsive for best price on the market. Gets real bright at night so I bough some gray plastic sheets that theatre guys like EW put over the theater spotlights, then cut multiple pieces to fit over the LED display.

I honestly dont know how I drove a car without one of these.
