Q: Do you still have it in place?
Q: How is it working for you, any problems?

I "loved" the product and its potential, gosh so much potential and I am thinking of re-purchasing it if it is better now.
I've had it for a little over a year now and it's been great so far, no battery drain issues, but I kept it hooked to a battery tender over the winter of course.

Transmission works fine, no issues. Just the basic things, measure what you drain, add same amount plus maybe half a quart or so more, and then do the proper level check procedure.

Dude, Thanks for all this thread, Awesome Awesome!
Had a Blue 2014 sold it, regretted it, took me 1.5yrs (driving a corolla) till I found a White 2013 w\low mileage cash.
Thank you!

What did you do with the OEM trunk tail?
Was it the 2014 CF trunk tail?
Do you still have it and if so how much are you willing to part with it?

1 of 2 Threads to keep conversations separately without convoluting themselves.

Oil Catch Can, I don't see that in pictures which leads me to believe you differ on it, thoughts?

If you took the car out, any noticeable difference with both braces?
