DIY: Removal of Cowl and Heat shield

[FG2BoostCoupe]

I know there used to be one of these but the pics are gone and I keep reading a lot of posts and it seems like people are having problems with this so here's how it goes

Tools:
10 mm socket
12 mm socket
panel popper if you got one



-Remove the 3 plastic clips circled in red
-Pull the weather stripping off the side cowls circled in yellow
-Pull up on the cowl upwards from the front and work your way to the windshield, the first time its going to require a pretty stiff tug, there are a few plastic that run along the bottom of the windshield and it snaps into the side cowl on the both side.
-Pull up on the passenger wiper and pull the plastic cowl straight out



-Heat shield removal
-Remove the 5 10mm bolts circled in red
-Remove the 4 12 mm bolts circled in green
-Pull the black metal heat shield straight towards you, there is foam gasket tape on it that sticks to the body, give it a stiff tug



Voila now you have access to plugs, coil packs, valve cover, and even the oil filter. Total removal time is around 20 minutes taking your time. I hope this helps some one out
