Last weekend was a good little weekend.

Started off by having a friend help installing the autotechs on Saturday.

Then installed the JBR Oil Catch Can (OCC). This took a little longer than anticipated because I was not sure if the PCV valve was supposed to swivel to allow me room to install. After confirming that, the rest was a breeze!

On Sunday, I finished off the front bumper by replacing the Home Depot Lip. This new one feels a lot sturdier and sharper.

Car will be getting some love in the interior (not like that) in the form of Raamaudio sound deadening. I've used this stuff before, and it made a big difference in the quality of the ride as well as improving the stereo sound.
Here's my last Raamaudio install:

It's a fairly easy install, just time consuming.
Requirements:
(1.5 roll) Raamaudio sound deading mat
(4 yds) Raamaudio ensolite foam
(1 can) Spray adhesive
Box cutter
Roller
Heat gun
(2-3 days) of sweat and tears.

I'd say about 40lbs. I'm going to take out the power steering and spare tire to compensate the difference. Just kidding. I'm a relatively light guy, 175 lbs, so I think I can get away with it :)
