Took me three hours because I was also installing a new Optima yellow top (thanks Soundmike ). I also had to sand down the grounding points to remove the paint. What took the longest was trying to find the dang grounding point for the alternator. I have a Stillen SC so I have pipes in the way so I had to look for the bolt from underneath the car. Strange that on my car the stock grounding wire that goes to the alternator is disconnected (possibly part of the SC install, see my thread in the 5th gen forum). I will post pics of the grounding points for anyone who needs visual aids.

Initial perceptions: It's raining here and it's late and i'm tired, so these may change tomorrow. Headlights are maybe a little brighter (hard to tell with dust on headlight covers, plus rain and my windshield was fogging up). Stereo is noticeably louder, but not dramatically. Audio is cleaner too. Courtesy lights\dome light inside the car are brighter. Can't tell if throttle response is any better and can't tell if the car is any faster. They're kind of tucked and hidden away, so you can't really call them an engine dress-up mod. Was it worth $120? I'll drive some more tomorrow and decide.

 

Do write back and let us know. I'm interested in this mod.

Not much to the install. I'll do a write-up later, but there's not much to it. Basic rules for working on electrical components of the car.
