I made mistakes and thought I was lined up on the front bolt while threading it in, and got frustrated with the bracket flopping around, so removed the rear bolt. Only to hear a thunk as the bracket settled and moved. I struggled, tried to manipulate the trunk-lid to re-align.

Ended up popping the Vent panel off so I could see the bolt holes better and know where the screw was coming in from. Highly recommend that if you are struggling.

How did you pop the vent panel off? Is it just clipped in place?

Well I got lucky and found the bolt. After removing the Eventuri I was able to see better. and it was sitting down in between two hoses, so I was able to retrieve it with a flexible magnet wand. I was finally able to get the bracket installed, but I'm pretty sure the socket that dropped went all the way down to the under pan on the bottom, so I'm still going to have to get the Quickjack and lift the car to remove the under pan.

Since I had the Eventuri out anyways, I went ahead and did something I'd been thinking about with all the discussion about increased heat in the engine bay due to the increased performance. I heat foil wrapped 2/3 of the body, the part that holds the air filter and the MAF. It's a shame to cover the beautiful carbon fiber, but unfortunately where the unit sits you can't see it anyways so it really doesn't matter. The beautiful shape is also surprisingly awkward to wrap, so I did it in many small strips, but it got the job done.
