Mark, the car looks great, and I have thought about switching to pre-98 lights. But that would mean getting another spoiler, and too much money. Looks good... BTW, wouldn't worry too much about comments made by a lowlife. :rolleyes:

Mark, I like it. The trunk is sweet. I like the lip spoiler on your car. I also like the fact that you have the stock wheels...superduper supped up car, not too flashy. I actually kinda like all your decals lined up on the bottom of your car, though I have no decals on my car and probably never will. We'll see  Good work! Oh, and I can't imagine putting a car like yours away for the winter...I'd get the shakes from withdrawl

damn i'm late. that was funny earlier though.
i couldn't even tell it was sarcasm until later on...at least use some smilies or something.
btw the rear trunk lid is tight!
forgive if someone already asked but where did you get and did you have it repainted at all?

The exhaust is custom with Vibrant Type-V canister style mufflers ($200+ each) and the sound is very deep, clean, and loud. The car has no pre cats or resonators and it has next to no rasp. IMO, they are the best sounding mufflers money can buy, but they are expensive.
The swap is actually pretty straight foward. only 4 bolts hold the trunk on. the hardest part was running the wires and connectors for the lights.
I purchased the already painted lid from a fellow CEGer who ended up not liking it. Color is slightly off and he couldn't get it to sit on the car correctly, which turned out to be a bent tab that goes into the latch, only way i figured it out was because I was in the trunk to see it close form the inside.
This mod has honestly made me fall in love with my car all over again, and that was needed after the extremely rough past couple months that I have experienced with it and the supercharger. -Mark

I thought Monkey Love was serious. I wouldn't have found it funny either and would have responded the same way. Not cool.

One of the best, and worst parts of having a Silver Frost SVT, is that it reacts to the light more than any othre color SVT out there. Usually, it's beautiful....Nice bright/golden glimmer in the morning, a deep gold/silver as the sun sets. A pale/whitish silver in the rain/at night. Unfortunatley, sometimes it also looks dirty when it's not. Mark, your car is sweet....I like the trunk lid alot. Now all you need is some bigger rims!!
PS, I'd like to see some pics of under the hood!
