Things of fun to note:
Thats the factory battery that was put on the car when it rolled off the assembly line.
Thats chicken wire in front of the radiator. Have a rock bust a radiator and see if you dont do the same thing.
Thats a transmission cooler in front of the radiator, ziptied around the center support. It's fairly massive. I need to get a transmission gauge to see if the grillblock is hurting it there. The fluid doesent look varnished, in fact it looks brand new, so it doesent seem to be doing too much damage. If I tow I Plan to remove the dam/grillblock

Does the transmission cooler have really small fins or something? In the picture it looks like there is duct tape across the front of the radiator, and that can't be right. That hole the dryer duct is going into is stock on these cars. Normally there's nothing going into the hole, it's probably just an access hole. That fender well is pretty well sealed off, on the bottom by the wheel well liner, and the sheet metal has just a few holes. Seems like that intake position might choke off the intake a bit. Did you try running the car with just the first section of the intake removed, leaving all the resonators (?) and other plumbing in place back to the air filter?
Nice results on the side mirror delete.
Our stock battery looked like that - after it had cracked and right before we replaced it!
