props to you! looks really good! that is a WHOLE LOT of red, but i like it. I like the powdercoating on the strutbars, but the ralliart oil filler cap is going to make you mad; it leaks , well at least mine does...

Agreed - Springs, rear sway bar, exhaust are next on the list.

Thanks man....The Greddy strut brace had blue end links with real crappy paint on them...I had to do something to clean them up so I went with the red.

I hope you are wrong on the ralliart cap.....I used to have a Greddy chrome billet cap, but that leaked too.......I keep the stock "Mobil 1" cap handy

Not a smart way to spend money, but I get the feeling you wouldn't really know the difference and that these sort of useless trinkets please you. In that case, enjoy.

For the guy who said, "I have to get a rear strut brace!!!" We don't have rear struts, therefore, that mod is 100% useless unless you need to hang things in your trunk.

Agreed, of course the $20 ebay rear strut bar is nice to hang crap off of.

Thanks for the advice............I always enjoy your thought provoiking responses!

The point of the thread was that I did not spend a lot of money......did all of the work myself.....and I like the way it looks and how it improves the functionality of my ride.

I thought the Intake / drop in filter was a good add performance wise....same with the braces and the tires....I made the grounding kit my self for less than $20.

While the car is still under warrantee, I am not putting lots of money into mods that will void that warrantee.

I plan to do the exhaust, lower the ride hight, and possibly a new rear sway bar next.

I am not a track star....I drive this car for fun as an extra vehicle.
