Yes, they are. You pull the knobs straight off (just a friction fit), i used a very small flat head screw driver tip to pry off the sticky ones that are on there now. Then just stick the new ones on and push the knobs back on. They have a small notch on the bottom to help you line them up. This only took me 5 minutes to figure out and finish.

Ordered a Skunk2 Alpha header for my Si. Got something that didnt look quite right. Wound up the tuning shop i got it from intentionally sent me the more expensive (by far) and better quality (by far) Megapower header for the same price.

Its not the alpha lol! It had Meagpower written all over it. There are Alpha bagdes/stamps at different places along the runners and collectors like this:


and they were all missing. Instead it looks like this which is the megapower header:



I GOT UBER LUCKY!!!

yesterday i installed my ngk iridium spark plugs. seems to smooth the car out and make it a little more crisp. install really was not that bad, took maybe 30 minutes. it was time to replace them so i am really satisfied with the results.

and the tinted middle portion of my tail lights i did this morning. i still need to sand the clear coats and buff them but they look ok. you can also see the bottom part of the bumper that i sprayed with plastidip. let me know what you guys think!

This is what I did to the GD 2 days ago Rubbing on the fender liners just a tiny bit, I'll probably be taking them off or tucking them in soon. RPF1 15x7+41 on Kuhmo Solus 195/55

Tuck the lining because that stuff doesnt withstand tire friction for ****. Mine rubbed my tires from about 3-4 days and wound up just gone. it just melts under the heat from friction.

If your signature is up to date I'm running the same specs. I trimmed my liner and zip tied it back so it doesn't rub.

Hopefully this helps.
