If you want to be more unique, put a Type-R badge on it. lol sorry, couldn't resist
yeah its retarded, the coil or wire or spring inside broke and its sticking out so yeah it doesnt work. But id rather replace that with a pop up one or the same kind if i have to than buy a whole new kit. I was also wondering about gasmileage. Ive come to notice more horsepower can lead to better gasmileage because your not on the throttle as much. Im probably wrong lol. And to the reprogramming, i thought the sensors were there to adjust how much fuel and air are goin to the engine within reason. Such as If i add more air, the ecm will adjust and give more fuel (if there is fuel to give) which is where the having a bigger engine or injectors ect.... come into play.

for the sunroof, try a junkyard and gang the parts you need to replace the mechanism. cheapest solution.

as for CAI and mileage.. actually it should tend to hinder economy a bit because you're forcing more air into the cylinders, and with more air, you get more fuel, which would mean more power but at the cost of more fuel/air per combustion.
