    You've done a lot of cool stuff to that car but I still think the bumper mod impressed me the most. To take the most god-aweful hunk of steel and makt it look that good.....

    The mav is gone but i'm still here!
    That air cleaner i love especially cause it hides the foggers. Do you have the top ram air piece? Or is it just the regular closed one?

    Don't do it in flat black.....very hard to keep clean. Semi-gloss is the way to go.

    The factory uses a satin black, semi-gloss is ok but not gloss unless it is the same color as the car.

    If a guy wasn't paying attention the engine could almost pass for stock.
