1/21/12​ K&N Air Filter ​25,005 ​Self ​..because it gets me 1,000 more HP :p . But seriously, surprised what I found.

1/23/12 ​New windshield wipers ​25,095 ​Self ​The old ones were chattering. Replaced with the Bosch Aerotwins. I thought these were the exact OEM replacements, but turns out the clasp that secures the wipers is different here. I like the OEM look better. We'll see how these work, and maybe go back to straight OEM next time.
2/4/12 ​VoodoTec Remote V1 Display ​Self ​Got the custom VoodooTec remote Valentine One display from LI-S4. A breeze to install and I love the look and funtionality.
