When i first got into modding the car i started out with the typical N/A upgrades, Plog, ER Rockers, CAI, Thermostat, Plugs/wires, downpipe..ect and it net me no where near what i was expecting for dropping the amount of money i did... so decided to start the Top-swap( back in 2010) adventure and havent looked back since!

    Please get rid of the red loom!!!! Its killing that engine bay change it all back to black and leave the red strut brace. With the black dog bone mounts black diagonal braces the red just destroys all the attention that sexy polished blower should be getting. Damn good looking ride tho!
