Its been 60s-70s here lately and its actually scaring me haha! I feel like winter is waiting to pounce at anytime!
I am hesitant, but I think we are done with winter here in Phoenix! Its been 80-86 the past two weeks... and they are predicting 82-87 the next two weeks.
Im hoping the weather is just broadening its base and that it doesnt necessarily mean a hotter summer.
Aero grill before and after. Only have a few shots of the car before the mod. Also removed the original stripes. They were getting pretty beat up. Gonna redo them when the weather warms up a bit.

Decided to risk the ticket and run without a plate on the front. Waiting on my personal plates also. Should be here in a few weeks.
Trying to decide if I should rent a car or bring Barnaby along on a 2500+ mile road trip. Last time I road tripped with him cost me 2k so I am hesitant. Any pointers??
Not a big fan of the silver scoop so I'll probably PD that when I do the headlight rings and the belt line , etc....
Got my exhaust scheduled for Friday. Cant fn wait!!!!
Sounds like fun, did you have the original silver U stripes ? Thats why the scoop is silver, U stipe on the hood to match , then it looks like they took it off and added the black traditional stripes.

I definitely miss the stripes you had, and that's not just because I have them also.

I'm not 100% on the scoop color Drumsound. I'll dip the headlight rings first and see how the scoop looks. I go back n forth with it.
Bav, I'm leaning towards the stripes like it had. But Black with a silver pin border. Instead of white. I may dip the headlight rings and do the stripes before deciding on the scoop. Gotta see how it looks.
hey, did you mention that you had some of those puddle led's left? Gonna order that interior led light kit this weekend. Let me know if ya do and what ya want for em.
Replaced driver side barn lock and installed Vibra-Technics [lower] engine mount [from Greene Performance]. Whoever said this mount didn't add vibration isn't what I'm experiencing. I noticed it immediately at start up and under acceleration but not much at idle. Feels like I'm running a straight pipe. Hopefully it breaks in over the next couple of 100 miles or I may remove/install the OEM part.
I've decided that this system is too loud for my tastes. I was hoping it woudn't be that loud till ya wadded the throttle a bit but it's just
a bit too obnoxious for me. I'd like to get somethin that's a bit quieter till ya push it some.
ahh well, it's only money.
I will get some vids of this today or tomorrow if I can.

Ebay cat back installed today. It's got a mean growl and pretty loud at moderate to heavy throttle. Slight drone here n there at certain rpm's, but I expected a bit of that for the price. Overall, pretty excited. Took a spirited 20 mile drive through the countryside. Grinning all the way.
yes yes..I thought about that as I typed that post. I'll figure somethin out here and post em up when I can. It's gone back to Winter again as you know. But, 50's are coming I heard for a few days. Maybe then.
