  97 SHO- Carbon Fiber Cowl Hood, Bullet Pro Turbo mufflers, IMRC Delete, Kenwood 10 Disc, Yamaha Badging, K&N Cone, SCT Xcal3 tuned by NESHO, Knife edged LIM, Painted UIM, 18" stern ST4 Warped Wheels wrapped in 245/40 Kumho SPTs

Newly installed- Koni struts and Eibach lowering springs in all four corners.  I haven't been more satisfied with any other modification done to any car(Sans maybe a manual boost controller in my Merkur XR4Ti until the t9 decided to end its life)

Lowered pics.  Adjusting the rear strut hardness can be a pain.  You need to take the backseats out and then the parcel shelf to adjust, but thats a small job and easy to do.

To get the alignment you have to hog out the alignment holes in the strut tower.  I painted the plates and the tops of the strut towers the same color as my intake runners.  I did this to stop rust from forming and because under the plates are just primered.

New drivers side fender.  No more ass sized dent!

Nicely modded front fender thanks to Mr. Silverado.  Now fixed.  Pics hopefully soon.

Not a shot of a car you get to see that often.

After the picture with the wood hood prop I had to do something.  We had a Neon in the driveway that I laid claim to its hood prop.  It wasn't ours but you know?  I never heard any greif from the owner cuz after the engine was put in we didn't hear from him so we junked it.

I had to hack it up.  I bent a hook into it where the stock hood struts would have gone.  I think it turned out oddly good.
