    My first fill up was a rather high mpg number. I use ODO miles and just enter whatever I have along with the gallons it took to fill her up. Yes miles computed are off the previous tank of gas. Just start adding data as you fill up and it'll start making sense :)

    Lets see a pic of the fuse box cover. I want to see the clearance issue as someone said the bar crosses over the fuse box.

    Who needs access to the fuse box...? If you do, just unbolt the brace on one side and flip it up.

    The fuse box cover can be taken off with the Tanabe STB installed. The trick is to disconnect the large electrical connector next to it. The cover can be worked off and slid out from under the brace.

    Here's a look at the car with the kit installed. Bear in mind I still have not put on those plastic pieces that are supposed to go "somewhere" near the rear of the sideskirts :whistle:

    Nope, I was replying on my phone to your post when you got your install done. I later seen Jay had some posts but I have not read those yet as I had to run.

    Car looks good! (y)

    What LEDs are you using for your parking/plate lights? Mine just aren't white enough.
