Nice Steering Wheel setup with the quick release, texanbrit.

One of my OEM Fog Lights cracked and the other had a leak so this weekend I Installed Morimoto - Projector LED Fog Lights (don't have pics). It was cheaper than putting OEMs back in and upgrading to LED bulbs. They are much brighter than the OEM but the beam spread is not quite as wide and the up/down beam adjustment is at the rear. The Left side adjustment is fairly accessible but the right side requires some agility, a tiny rachet and an 8mm socket.

* Has anyone bypassed the Fog Light cut-out so that the fogs stay on (if you want) when the Brights come on?

Noooooo!

Sorry to hear that. The good news is lots of folks have done the donor engine swap now, so it's completely doable if you are up for it.

Cue the theme from The Six Million Dollar man (if you're old enough to remember that).

Swapped in a UNI foam filter to replace the beat up (whatever EC Uses) filter, the lack of manufacturer markings lead me to believe it’s a cheap Chinese filter. Should be temporary before I have time to build an intake with a BMC airbox soon.

I’m on it. Going to swap one in and rebuild the one I’m pulling.

I installed a tow strap on my 2013 Sport after making a mount.

Today I relocated my Antigravity battery to behind the passenger seat.
