Default Fixed up the front fascia

Worked on the front end yesterday. Pulled the fascia off (not a fun job on jack stands, lots of things to undo on the underside and not a lot of room). With the Hellion turbo I had to delete the driver side fog light which left a big hole going right to the turbo - wouldn't be fun in the rain. So ground down the housing some more for space for the turbo, and then used plexiglass to cover the opening, a small mirror to mimic the passenger side fog light. From a distance it looks pretty close and make it symmetrical across the front now.

New engine is in, but I have not pushed it at all since the BBR tune is still on the car. Can't get the dyno tune done until after mid-May unfortunately.

Going to have MPT set up an email tune and do some data logging to get it set up in the interim.

I didn't notice the fog mismatch until I read that part of your post. That's a bit trippy!

That's what I was hoping for - just enough to look symmetrical and not obvious!

Ah, your tri-bar logo is on the passenger side whereas mine is on the driver's side and they are facing opposite directions.

That's THE only thing I can see every time I see a pic of the front of his car. Makes my OCD starting going crazy

Ditto that. It's starting to give me a nervous tick.
