heh pun totally intended (cougars-cats-catty hehe) blah ok so I'm not funny, that's why I'm an accountant (sorta) and not a fuggin comedian. anyway, read here have I mentioned lately how much I HATE FBC2 sightings? hehe Mike was in the car with me at the time (he was driving) and as soon as he saw the car up ahead of us, he slowly looked over at me, almost in a scared-to-look sort of way just to see if I noticed the car too. heh I slouched in my seat and sulked. then I said in much the same manner as the fox who can't reach the grapes, "I bet she doesn't have the leather interior" :p

Kim, maybe you should do a hot pink racing stripe front to back. Or neons under the car somewhere... Or huge chrome 18" bling blingin' wheels... Or black out the headlights... Or neon green wiper arm covers... Or get those tires with the stripe down the middle... Or put some BMW body panels and "M" badging on it... You know...something to make it look, well...less common. :p

Seriously though, you could do the eliminator hood... That would be a easy & cool mod that would make you car more unique. Just a thought...

is Eliminator a company that makes hoods or are you talking about THE Cougar Eliminator?
cuz I don't remember THE Eliminator having any sort of special hood.
I have been wanting a Kaminari hood for quite some time. no job now though = no monies for mods.
(ugh there's so much I want to do!)

(ugh there's so much I want to do!) I thought THE Cougar Eliminator had that "V" shaped hood scoop...? No? I know all about the no $$$ thing...and I have a job! $600 per month child support payment (negotiated) $1,125 rent $200x2 for TWO (  ) car payments @least $700 for the rest of the incedentals (food, utilities, etc.) Leaves not much $$$ left over for car mods...

 aha! that's the Visteon Hoodscoop. forgot it had that on it. The new XR cougars come with that scoop as well. I almost bought one for like $70 last year until I saw the kaminari hood. that visteon hoodscoop is just glue on, no functionality. (not like kaminari is really much beyond aesthetics, although it does allow air in).  (ugh ignore the rancid Z3 fenders and bumper on that pic and try to just look at the hood) as much as I'd love to make the car "prettier", I'd like to focus more on performance modifications first.
