Review:
The Billet Parts from AEM are good quality parts! Instructions are very informative and descriptive (Way better then there DC Header Install Ones) even for the simple Oil cap install. They send you AEM stickers with these parts. No these parts will not boost your hp or performance of your car, But it will provide you with a touch of *Bling*. It adds a nice pop to your dull boring engine bay! Great for that weekend show car!

mine came installed already :-D

Did you have your battery replaced? All the tCs I have seen have a panasonic battery

Yeh the one they gave me was bad so they replaced it.

Shouldn't this be a FAQ?

Nice tutorial, but is someone cannot figure out by themselves they are useless.

nice tuturial still.

Its 1 am and i still can't decipher whether ur serious or not about this Kaeon...this is hillarious..and yes...and person who has a difficult time with this..should prolly just stick to a stock tC lol...but aside from the hillarity of it all....I like the battery tie down a lot..don't care too much for the oil cap...tooo bling for a really dark part of the bay

hes just addin a HOW TO thats all , there are probably some people out there that have no idea but want to learn and something this simple will give them the confidence to start tryin out other things . Its all a learnin expierence . Hell some of us would find this to be a joke while some would have no clue where to start . Why you think most instructions are written in baby talk LOL . Put Key in ignition , turn key to start , release key LOL :rofl: :rofl:

Yes we place them here first for people to view and reply and then we move it, Ive been on a business trip so i havent gotten a chance to but its moved now.

Jdub Some people may not know how to do it does not mean they are useless.

Here is a picture of my tC with a Yellow Optima battery:

it cost me $110.00 weight 25 lbs vs the 35 lbs of the Stock one (panasonic)

These pictures look great, anyone know where I can find low prices?

:rofl:

curtis try ebay, they have the AEM engine goodies for cheaper than trdsparks.

nice tutorial
