Soundaktor Delete

Installed: 07/28/2023

The device, itself, is mounted only with a single 10mm nut. Once I removed this nut, I was able to shuffle around the device enough to reach the disconnector and remove it completely.

Handbrake Boot Delete

Installed: 12/02/2023

Originally just pulled the boot up to try and figure out what I needed to do to adjust the handbrake but I realized I liked it a lot better without it entirely.

no thanks to y'all or modern search engines, I managed to find an astonishingly high-value, (seemingly) extremely robust, suction and physical bracket-based windshield mount. get bent. details: https://extratone.craft.me/arkonmount

PSAS4

Installed: 03/09/2024

Though I originally intended to order/install either Pilot Sport 4Ss or Pilot Super Sports, it wasn't until the good folks at Big O brought around DAVÖD, post-fitting and alignment, that I noticed the words All Season on the goddamned things.

Primary Cowl Grill Clip Replacement

Installed: 07/25/2023

Should probably be quite offended/demanding to hear back from the previous owner about why the heck it was missing. This was the first thing I actually *fixed* on the car and it felt quite significant. A few more details here: https://extratone.craft.me/cowlclip

Towing Hook

Installed: 04/01/2024

Just a stock OEM towing hook (which was missing when I bought the car.) One of the stupid aesthetic trends I've always liked.

The Davod Spec™ has the six speed with the fucking joke golf ball shift knob, yeah, and the plaid cloth seats with the goddamned red stitching. That's it, though - the calipers are red but I've always thought stamping the marque there, too, is a bit much. No billion pound sunroof. The undercase mud flaps. Anyhow - my recollection is not very detailed, so I've no idea how it happened, but it turns out I must have accidentally pushed the "buy" button *and* selected the dirt cheap shipping because it took *three* people 6 *years* to drive whatever the fuck kind of 90,000-mile back country ass route this unbelievably imperturbable automobile went through to arrive, but I'm just glad it did... ...because forreal, I hope and expect to relax a bit... to welcome ye electrified motherfuckers to my neighborhood. Why would I mind if you want to sit in your car for 40 minutes every day? Hello, it me. I am changing de gear. lol Don't fucking hit me, please.
