i wouldnt suggest dropping the sub frame either. but if u want to use the spacer with out milling it down and be able to have ur hood shut close, ur either gonna need the 09im (no sure if that will be enough, where the measurements at cd) or drop the subframe.

One quick question, are the plenum gaskets metal/reuseable if I were to take them off to attempt a polish?

If it dont fit.
I have to do something to the hood.
because my hood will close one way or another.
can you see the fuel injector rails with the spacer on. ?

The metal gaskets can be reused. I prefer new ones though.

reuseable??? if you really wanted to you could, but i would absolutly not reuse them (unless they are only like a month old or something), but anyways they harden (and lose their eleasticity) up over time and take a seat to where they are positioned, and won't reseat exactly like before if you do decide to reuse them
but also if you do pull the valve covers make sure to put new seals on for the bolts and spark plug tubes too (most of the time they will come as a set with the cover's gasket)

not guaranteeing anything bc i dont know if ur gaskets are dry rotted or cracked. i looked mine over good before reinstalling them.
tl has 5k miles and my valve covers been on and off 3 times. same with my cl valve covers been off at least 5 times (damn bent valves) and they dont leak)

here's a pic of one of the lower runners to compare lower holes.This is just most the weight out I think the front one had more work done.They also have not been cleaned up in this pic.
This is a old pic I just found in the cammera.
They are both completely done now besides paint.They are taped and pluged thou.

I always got to spend money.
My spare car was bouching in the front today.I lifted it up and 2 bad tires.So 2 more tires bought this week.
Since driving the car while my cl been down I've found a leaking valve cover gasket,tranmission mount riped so it bangs when I put it in reverse and 2 bad tires.
bad news but,a first some good news.
fed ex came by 2 days early,"Thats a first".
My last bolts showed up today and tomorrow I don't have anything to do yet.
So we might be able to have some fitment and performance reveiw tomorrow.

I'm more than half way threw with the first grit on the TB now.
I'm starting at 220 so their wont be impossible straches to get out the tight conners.
This thing is going to be blinging when finished.
I'll put a pic up when I'm finished with it tonight,Also thinking I might go back into the front side of the TB again and do some more work since it dirty again anyway

Looks great. Make sure you clean the throttle body real good when your done. You dont want those metal shavings getting into the motor.
