    Thats a cool mod.

    I went with this charger. It fits in snug and I can close the cover without having to take it out everytime.

    Labor day build log update:
    1) Installed KYB G2 shocks all around.
    First impressions, the car rides much smoother than on stock shocks. The rods on the KYBs are much thicker than OEM. Overall drive is much more comprised and less "crashy." My driveway is 1/8 mile long gravel road with a bunch of potholes, I hit every single one and the car stayed true.
    2) Installed a thicker front anti-roll bar
    First impressions - no difference. I feel like you can achieve the same feel with a set of brand new bushings. Maybe the difference can be felt at the limit.
    3) Installed a dashcam. You can follow my guide in the stork build thread in my signature, similar steps.
    Hardwired it to the stock homelink harness and tucked all the wires in. The process is no different from the V1 hardwire process covered in multiple videos on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IO_cZZdFPP4

    Next up, I have to figure out why the rear of the car is sitting lower than stock (springs are stock). I was thinking about re-conditioning the springs by baking them in the oven for a few hours. Gotta get some use out of that sophomore metallurgy course. I'm off to find an oven that goes up to 1100 degrees.

    All these mods happened at 111k miles.
    They ride great! I went to drive the car on the twisty roads and it is a beast. Everyone who is anyone will tell you that you want progressive feel from your suspension. These shocks with stock springs give that feeling.

    Front Bumper Center Impact Strip

    The other day I ordered up some parts for the Martlet and first one showed up:

    Had I read the description I would know that this impact strip did not work with the ZHP bumper; but I digress.
    To pull off the bumper trim all I had to do was pull on the license plate holder trim and voila.
    With a little yank, it came right off.

    To make it fit, I had to cut off 4 top center tabs.
    It clicks right into place and with a little movement of other trim pieces, I was able to close the gaps.
    5 minute project.
