It does look good for sure, I especially like the custom mod he made for the back window.   OPPS - I may have let the cat out of the bag...

Ok, since I'm not in the know, I have to guess...

I'm wagering it's something like the rear quarter panel window covers you see for mustangs...

It's a piece of cake.
Just requires a couple different socket sizes.

Not hard at all, loosen the clamps to the intercooler (considering the other clamps and supporting hardware is removed) and I used a flat tip screw driver and shoved it in between the pipe and the rubber seal to separate them.  Once the rubber has been broken loose of the bond-so-to-speak, you can easily remove them with a wiggle side to side motion while lifting.
