Door/Hatch Poppers Installed and Cold-air Intake Mockup

I spent the bulk of yesterday and today installing the remote door popper goodies. This meant lots of wiring, and unfortunately wiring requiring me to run wires through the frame to the doors and tunnel.  Not fun. Hours later, the remote door poppers and trunk release all work perfectly. I located the remote control box under the passenger-side dash. While running the trunk release wires to the back I also ran the backup switch wire and backup camera video cable.

After getting the poppers and wiring done I started doing mockups for the cold air intake. First draft looked good, but the fit was too tight for comfort with the hatch closed. Back to the drawing board and the second attempt works much better. I still have to cut the tubing that the filters will mount on behind the side ducts, but this will work great. I only need a reducer sleeve for the MAF to the intake Y-tube connection and I will be able to get it installed.
