The Clear Corner Mod:

The clear corner mod is where you take the orange reflector out of the headlight so that the entire thing is clear. It looks awesome, and saves you the money that you'd otherwise have to spend on buying aftermarket headlight assemblies.

Clear corners really gives my car a totally different look, and I really like them.

The Wetsanding Mod:

A lot of cars have problems with their headlights fogging up really bad from sitting out in the sun. My Cirrus had the problem bad, and you couldn't even see inside the headlights. Well, there's an easier and cheaper solution to buying new headlights. Westand them!

They look almost like new now, and you can actually see inside the plastic headlight cover.

The Sylvania Silverstars:

The cloud cars had some real problems with lighting, and when you upgrade your bulbs, you really notice the difference. I spent $80 on 4 bulbs from AutoZone and I don't regret a single penny of it. They really do look brighter and whiter than the stock halogens. Here's some before (top) and after (bottom) pictures:

Stay tuned because I've got a few things up my sleeve. I looked into bored throttle bodies and port-matching the intake manifold/plenum. A port matched intake manifold, current air intake kit, and new injectors could make a huge performance difference.

Dang that looks good...

Here is the new intake from intake_power on eBay I installed. It only took about 30 mintues, and it makes an enormous difference. It may not help performance so much, but the sound of the engine is totally different. It has a deep growl like a V8 now, which is very cool coming from a small V6. Besides, it looks awesome as well. For $40, you cannot go wrong.

The aftermarket air intake looks way cooler than the stock setup. It gives the engine a whole new personality.

I'm struggling to keep the Cirrus clean now that she drives 400+ miles per week between school and work, but she's being very good to me and has been very reliable. As I type this now, she has 34,000 on her, and it's past due for a transmission fluid/filter change. I may get around to doing it myself if I feel up to it, or I'll just take it down to the Dodge dealer. This is it for now...
