another real easy mod...some se side skirts...they cover up the ugly seem under the rocker..i always loved the se sides...some pre98 sail panels, some tint..after 4and a half years i finally did it yesterday..and some tips for those mufflers...i noticed in pep boys the other day that they make tips for mufflers that are up under the bumper..they are kinda "z" shaped or backwards s shaped with a 2.25 inch chrome opening..looked kinda sharp its funny how we all live vicariously(sp!!) through eachother on this site..

Welcome to the SEWI-CEG! I used to live in Waukesha (just north of Sunset on McArthur). Now I'm in New Berlin.
If I had known your location, I would have given you my old CTA intake.
Later,

Having the hod struts on look sweet too  .
Wish i would of known about the CTA  , but it was worth the price!
You used to live pretty much down the block from me, lol. New Berlin is still close.
As far as the other members suggesting removal of the Automart sticker, i will get to it sooooon, lol. It is ugly as #&%!, i know.

I was thinking tips to, but the bent pipe was welded on the mufflers. I guess they can always be cut off, considering i would still have enough room for the tips.

If you were adventurous enough do this , is looks much better than resting up against the bottom, imho.

Hood struts are great.
Best price/performance mods for cheap are UDP & Optimized TB.
Car will rev alot quicker.
Being an ATX, the cooler is a great idea.

What year is your car? Mines a 98 with VCT but it doesn't have that cool little embossed VCT on the valve cover. BTW if someone is giving away a CTA intake I'll take it and pay for shipping.
BTW your car looks great.

That an "amen" on the hood struts. Just lift the hood a little ways and they take over and up goes the hood. That prop rod is retarded.

The reason there's so much ignorance is that those who have it are so eager to share it.
