Haha, I got a giggle out of this. With the LS, I won't even have the sweet smell of unburnt fuel in the exhaust. Now at least I can get that hard-to-reach dead mouse out of there!

Fortunately, they make a cowl replacement panel now, but I'm still looking for experience from someone who has actually installed one to know what fitment is like. Guess I don't have any real choice other than to dig in. It's only time and money, after all--so much for the "quick suspension swap"...
