thanx man. the wing grew on me. i'll try and get some pics of the neon at night. i like the red neon b/c it goes w/ the stock interior dash lights. you'll see

That intake looks like it flow a lot less than stock. Welcome!

im not digging all the chrome or the antlers. nice car though.

ya, no chrome and the intake does have way too many bends IMO and the wing is a no go for me. But that's why my car looks different so to each his own. I love the black interior and am jealous I got stuck w/ tan, but oh well, life goes on.

not a huge fan of the wing but its not to bad. Maybe a turbo or something in the future to justify it?

jfdublyu · « **Reply #10 on:** April 13, 2006, 10:13:48 PM »

i made some changes, added some things, and lost some chrome. now i just need time to take pics

jfdublyu · « **Reply #11 on:** April 13, 2006, 10:23:01 PM »

the FPR is a Cosmo Racing unit. hooks up pretty simply. i like the vdo gauge built in.

NEW Upgrades!!!!
-CCFL angel eyes installed (these are hot!)
-BavAuto HP Ignition Coils (awesome upgrade, recommend)

Projects Completed
-manual-turn-on switch for aux fan (must for engine fan delete for stop & go traffic)

In the works
-newer used tranny install (my current one grinds more than my coffee maker, such a pain!)
-BMP LW Flywheel (i can't wait for the test drive after this one!)
-injector upgrade (mustang GT injectors)
*i'm getting 8 injectors so i will have 4 left if anyone is interested $20 bucks shipped, i use paypal

nice car, i'd have to agree with the rest on the wing and red led's but again, to each his own:) i redid my carpet black, so now i only have the cargo shelf is grey and headliner is tan, so i'm halfway:) get some more pics!

Febi Guibo · « **Reply #13 on:** April 13, 2006, 11:13:04 PM »
