    Gave her a bath today and then added the SPO grilles that i got for $30 shipped on ebay!!! theres a bunch of colors to choose from too. next i have to order new inlays for the front. Only mods done so far are silver torque stars, SPO grilles, silver letter inserts front and back, and an aftermarket sunroof. id like to add a 5 bottom DIC in the near future, and if i can figure out how to add an aux jack w/o having XM that would be cool. This thing doesnt have trac or ABS

    Pro Tip: A little tire shine on the front/rear lower valences gets them rich/dark/even.

    Pro tip:

    Tire shine has a cleanser and degreaser in it...and it isn't good for the clear coat and also leaves the valences looking greasy and oily (aka rainbow effect)...if you want your valences to look good...wax them like the rest of your car.

    Both my front and rear valences have clear coat on them from the factory...plenty of 97-03 cars do...some don't. It is plastic...it still looks better if you use the correct wax...as in #26 Yellow finish vs. Armor All which leaves a greasy look like a stated already.

    Never looked greasy to me. Wait... do you not wipe that stuff off? I wipe it off. Because, yeah, it looks awful if you don't wipe the excess off.

    I'd still rather put a finishing compound on it rather than a oil based cleaner...it looks better IMO.

    You're drunk, sir.
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.
