I was relieved when that was all it was, but that relief did not outweigh the embarrassment

@Papa_Dios Yeap....total rookie mistake, but damn it feels great to have it running, and a normal clutch engagement point!

So I wanna take the rings off the trunk again, but my trunk was just painted a couple months ago, is that gonna cause me problems? I used goof off and then buffed it out when I did my other badges, dont really have experience with fresh paint though, should I be alright?

I think the paint should be cured by now, but I'm not a paint guy. Might PM Pat and see what he has to say?

Well the last week has been interesting.

Successfully installed an apr snub mount which I absolutely love for the price and ease of install. I would advise to just buy the new mount as well though because I spent just as long shaving it down (to avoid vibrations) as I did to fully install it.

Also did a full interior detail

And my rear windshield shattered....
Lesson learned, dont let someone whos pissed at you close your trunk, they may slam it while theres a screwdriver at the bottem of the windshield. If it wasnt for my tint I'd probably have thousands of glass pieces to pick up.

Lastly I decided to start retrofitting my HID fogs, fitting new front speakers (ordered too big so now doing a stealth retrofit) and refinishing my winter wheels, none of these were finished though because I started up school today and freshman arent allowed to have cars so its looking like this timeline is going to be very slow over the next year.

But stay tuned, a few nice surprises coming
