So that is where my RV septic dump tube went! There I was thinking a Civic owner stole it!
LGF_tacoma on IG has a reel that shows the hard parts. Where to cut the inner fender, and bolt up the flange. The GX is almost exactly the same.
Most importantly, did you see/feel any performance increases, e.g.: MPG, seat of the pants acceleration, or?
Same. I've been seeing tons of 550s in the Prosper area, far north of Dallas.
And I thought only the girls in Japan threw up "peace signs" in all their still photos!
(it's actually a Hawaiian thing, meaning "hang loose")
I lived in California for 6 years until '21, and apparently I subconsciously picked that up while out there.I guess it's a west coast thing, but we usually do a "shaka"

It is "hang loose" or in the 70's was more "hang ten" on the Rock (Oahu) with the coastal surfing crowd, and once in a while seen it in SoCal but not often. I spent 6 months on the Rock TAD in the mid 70's during the 5 years that I was homeported in San Diego. And of course have to stop there for a bit on the way to a Western Pacific deployment.
Just got back from the Sunset Country of Ontario with the Admiral, the Skipper couldn't make it this year he is closing on his house in Boston and downsizing. His other home is in Oahu easy to figure out which home he spends 6 months at. He purchased his Oahu house in the early 80's. The 3 of us have been stationed in Pearl Harbor at one time or another and when calling each other will often greet and close our phone conversations with Aloha. None of us will give each other the shaka though, that is for the young surfer crowd. More times than not back then it meant hang loose, usually along the lines of Eh brah lets go smoke some Pakalolo. Had no idea that it is now called the shaka.
Never dreamed that I'd end up in the Upper Midwest. The one thing that is consistent across the nation in rural areas is the one finger salute in acknowledgement or respect. Subtle and that is more my style and what I do, like this
I picked that picture because I had a 67 Mustang with a 289 and it was burnt orange as well. It was my last car before I got my first 4x4 a 77 FJ55 Iron Pig Land Cruiser and haven't owned a car since, only 4x4's. Been more than a few years.
My bad, sloppy typing.

I get that a lot hitting B roads.

The photos of your mirrors reminded me that it seems my mirrors get hit a lot more than the leading edge of my hood, especially off roading with debris being kicked up on trails by the front tires.Bug impacts have always been a PITA for me cleaning my rigs over the years. 1K round trip plus ~500+ miles off road over the last week I had more than my fair share of bugs smack the front end, grill and mirrors. Well mirrors on the highway on the trails they were always folded in.
With the above average temps the mosquitoes would eat you alive without deet. And buggins for the gnats. Plus who knows what else that flies. In the past I've tried various bug and tar remover and all different types of washes but nothing really stuck out as better than anything else.
Today unpacking I remembered that I had a bottle of Chemical Guys bug remover that I got this summer but never opened. Had never used any of their stuff before and figured it was time to try it.
Let the Chemical Guys bug remover mixed with water sit for a minute and then scrubbed with my standard car brush. Not hard or long no longer than normal cleaning. Count me a fan at least of the bug remover.
The front end had some black spots on it in places so did it twice. On closer inspection the black is because I left some paint behind in Canada. Some trails were pretty overgrown on all sides and top so were more a tunnel of trees. And of course tight K turns to turn around require a bumper bump up against trees.
