Missing back seat

Did you remove the backseat for weight savings ?
Not sure from the picture, but is it dynamated? Or is that
the factory felt pad?

Did the gutter gard vent help? That should work well with the airboxes.

As for the comment made about the fog light access panels, not sure if you have them. The 500E has a door on each side below the fog lights on the front airdam. I am not sure if they exist on the 400E.

Keep up the cool mods!

Another cool thing for the backseat would be a subwoofer array
to replace the backrest!! 4 - 12's

Yes i did remove the back seats, which are very easy to remove and put back in. Bottom seat cushion is 2 tabs and its out, back is 3 bolts and it lifts out. Approximately 40-50 pounds, and that is the stock padding, although it does look cool with the padding off because behind it is just the metal which is the color of the car which would be cool to paint black . The vents definately helped as my intake system was in dyre need of more air. Took it out on the highway yesterday and couldnt help but test out the better 60-120 mph acceleration . I am always looking for more air though. More air means more power hands down. Going to mix up some 98 octane this weekend which should be fun. Im also going to delve into the foglight assembly. All in all this week has been great. Ive come home and worked on the car every day, and im glad to see that the stuff actually works. Thanks again for the compliments.
