Haha, yeah I didn't even bother going down that road, as it was pretty clear that they're more of an appearance item than something actually functional. Just wait until you get hit by a June bug in the face at 60mph!

Welcome to the aftermarket ECU tuning club. What most people don't realize is that taking it to a tuner only fixes acceleration and the basic fuel and timing map. They do NOT deal with cold start, idle, steady state driving, and coasting to a light. That part of it takes a very long time to dial in.

Preaching to the choir, brother! I thought everyone knew that, but live and learn.
