    Thanks. The purple is just sexy huh? And there don't seem to be very many of them. I have a hard time finding them.

    As for mods ill probably get some stuff done around spring since I gotta drive it this winter so I need to invest in winter stuff such as tires and a remote start so my a$$ isn't freezing every morning and so that the motor is nice n warm when I wake up to leave(has a block heater which is nice lol..plus money is tight right now with me having a suspended license and not being able to get to work.

    It's absolutely bone stock except for a 180 start with a practically brand new GM crate motor and transmission that the previous owners had installed.

    The 180 stat was to help cool it down since it gets a little on the hot side. I think it needs a water pump but I might do the radiator upgrade write up I read yesterday. Plus I need the duct shielding stuff for the bumper cover that's supposed to redirect the airflow to cool the radiator. Hopefully all of that and maybe even some water wetter and shell run cool like she's supposed to.

    For performance mods I want as follows:

    Headers and downpipe...not sure if i'd want catless or catted-not sure which brand
    Intake-I want an Fg4 that one of the guys on Fullthrottlev6 makes....the fg3 looks extremely nice and the fg4 is supposed to be the newer better version
    MPS
    colder plugs
    1.9 rockers...what is all needed to do this....besides the rockers themselves...I know i'll need new gaskets too..but what about springs? are 1.9's agressive enough to need stronger springs....i've just never done anything like rockers before and I'm not sure of everything ill need.
    PCM
    n* throttle body
    ported blower probally too
    other little things and that's about it I think
    An intercooler if it wasn't so d@mn expensive!!
