The fuel filter is nearly as bad, but you're working on your back! While I was in there I removed the OEM worm-drive hose clips on the fuel lines, as they were looking a bit tatty (the lines, not the clips) - replaced them with the correct fuel-hose clamps.
Engine bay looks fantastic Wayne.

Mine gets dusty in a few months. It really is time for another OB cleaning.

Programming is needed. You have to change the VIN in the LCM to rid of the tamper dot and program the ZCS of your car to the LCM.

Swapped out the back hatch struts and added those little springs so that the hatch opens by itself when unlocked.

Nice. The red goes with white. Mine was green, didn't go well with the blue paint at all.

Took the 4.6 Out of the garage over the weekend for the first nice dry day and no snow to pass emissions.
