I replaced my cabin filters today. Here's a pic of my old one...I'm assuming previous owner never replaced them in 50k miles.

Note to anyone doing this: the passenger footwell airbag cable was attached with some plastic harness so I had some difficulty removing it for a little while.

so this way i can easily remove the screws to use an exacto knife to remove the old sticker and put the new one on...

but those steel screws stuck out like a sore thumb so i took a black sharpie to them

specially since there's nothing silver/shiny on my car any more

Looking good man how does the grill I sold you look? Put some larger tips to fill that space up though!

Here's what I did!

Just post what you did... I'll start.

Car has a maintenance appointment for tomorrow and being my car is too low I raised it back up to what I thought was high enough to get it in their lift
One thing I gotta say is having a garage to work out of...even if it's late at night!


Also, having a low profile Jack makes lifting the car that much easier vs driving up in 2×4's and scissor jacks


Here's the front before:


And after:


What's great about these KW coilovers is how easily accessible they are to make the necessary adjustments


Using the plastic bag method so I don't scratch up my BMS Titanium lugs!


ALL DONE! about an hour to do all 4 corners
Put some H&R sway bars in and a new cabin filter. Still have to install my JB4 and M5 style bumper. Here she is!

Tried to swap out the crappy halogen turn signal bulbs for some LEDs. The left side went swimmingly, the right side; not so much... Half the tab on the socket sheared off. I'm afraid if I go any further the whole tab will shear off and I'll be screwed. So I have an LED on the driver's side and the halogen on the passenger side. To finish the job I will have to remove the wheel and do whatever it takes to get that sucker out of there. I have a new socket on order that should arrive Tuesday. For the life of me I can't figure out why the tab sheared; though I had to use pliers to turn the socket. I did grab the socket in the middle...

Here's a pic of the left side. No more ugly egg yolk! Whoops!!!! This is what I purchased.

Did you turn it the wrong way with the pliers? Maybe that's what happened?

Counter (or anti for those across the pond) clockwise. The socket turned about 40º, but it seems to be in there to stay. When I get the new socket I plan to squirt some lubricant around the seal.
