I think I'm going to debadge mine as well, right after its first oil change (fingerscrossednocopperplease) and coolant temp sensor change.

Oh, yeah -- the coolant temp. We used the OBD diagnostic menu to monitor the coolant during my test drive, where we found the coolant temp dipping as low as 68 degrees C. Weaver Motorsports (selling dealer, big thumbs up) replaced it for me and I drove home. Now the temperature hovers steadily at 75, going as high as 78 or so before coming back down. Fan clutch seems fine, water pump is not wobbly (and must be working anyway). Infrared thermometer shows surface temperatures of about 85C at the hose inlet to the thermostat, as well as the engine block right next to the sensor. I'm going to change the sensor, which gives me an excuse to remove the intake manifold and clean/explore down there anyway.
