With the right tool setup it is easier but still difficult to get to due to the cats in the oem header setup.

I thought about that while under the car cursing and then realized I'd be cursing the headers as wellAh a good reason to buy some Headers!I bought headers and full exhaust and sold them before buying the house. I'll get another set in time because they really do make the car sound a million times better. Supercharger would make it sound even better. Mike's car (status gruppe) sounds ridiculously good with full exhaust and supercharger. I can live without the latter.

a quality exotic full exhaust system is the key to enjoying this car - I am certain of that.

I decided to get some new headlight lenses beings I'm OCD. The old ones looked like they were sand blasted.
Got a new Bosch set from Khoalty for $80 shipped.
Bosch Headlight Lens- http://www.khoalty.com/headlight-lens-replacement.html
Also got some Lamin-X 6% tinted protective film and new headlight cover strips.

Right- http://www.ecstuning.com/ES173248/
After applying the tinted film to one lens I installed it to compare the difference from the non tinted one. I couldn't really notice any difference while driving and barely any standing in front of the car looking at both lights. I really like the slight tinted look. There is some slight haziness in the photos that should disappear as they dry.

All Done!

Ya me likey! The originals were peppered pretty bad.
Replaced the Vanos Filter. My OCD kicked in and I started doing some polishing.
