1. A couple of days worth of penetrating oil application and a couple of flare nut wrenches should cure the fuel filter problem.

2. Sounds like you know what to do.

3.It looks to me to be the wiring harness for an engine expansion plug heater for use during cold winters. The red end plugs into the expansion plug - the other end plugs into a 120v outlet.

Nice job on the CAI. A heat shield is a very good idea.

you may want to try to just run that filter down behind like a fog light and blocking it from the road to keep it clean and dry, looks good tho!

Thanks man
It appears a brighter white but I'm sure with time it'll fade a little and blend in better with the car's color
