Already swapped in worm clamps for the OEM ones, they definitely fit more tightly. Whenever I get the bug to take it all apart again I'll go with T band clamps.

I'm sad to see this thread died in 2019 but here's my attempt at reviving it.

I installed a coupe front lip, wrapped the roof gloss black, added seat covers that actually look great, installed Spec-D headlights, and added ambient lighting.

Not today, but recently.

Had a buddy of mine help with the valve covers. Not OEM but definitely not the cheapest either. My friend couldn't really find any difference between them and OEM, even had really good gaskets so didn't need to use the Fel-Pro ones. Only #5 had oil in the spark plug hole. Still smoked a lot when we first started it. Strong like bull since.





Original ones were really grimy, got tired of smelling oil burning 1-2 times a week after driving.



Also applied Optimum Opti-Coat Pro 3 on my car. It's a layerable SiC ceramic coating that film builds to about 5-8 microns. Two layers of base coat, two layers of top coat. Starts at $3000. But as a certified installer, I got some to test before it was released.

Motor swapped for the new Ecodone motor eh :P

As long as they don't leak..
