    Ok, so......by 200, I meant 2000. Lol. I'm new at this, don't judge!

    Ok, so anyhow, this new car the hubs bought.....Came with Alteza tail lights. The 21 year old in me can appreciate them, but of course the actual 30 year olds in both of us say, back to factory tails we go....first thing I did was Buy a set this weekend. I'm actually really enjoying this car and wanna get him some things here and there. 127k miles and EXCELLENT CONDITION. What more could he want/need? Not changing out the radio or sound system because he's happy with what he's got, any suggestions?

    The altezas are out. Selling them if you want them! Not necessarily faster. He has a 92 camaro he is working on, just swapped the motor in that. I'm more looking out as far as things that might typically go wrong or could use an upgrade because they have probs eventually. Or maybe something that's just a really cool must have.

    Looks good, I like the color. Put a cone filter/ cai on it so you can hear the blower whine.

    you should have tinted the altezzas i think they are hideous before tint but after they look awesome, i have a set they really smooth the body lines in rear

    as far as mods he might like i suggest a set of wheels you should be able to get a set off craigslist for less than 600. A scan guage would probably be one of the best mods there are alot of options here personally i use an aeroforce and like it alot, but there are much cheaper options.

    Led tails > all
    Once you see the car with the stock grills you are going to want to put the steel ones back in it.

    Oh btw the car is lightly modified with a 3.4" pulley, a tune, cat back exhaust. How many steps colder of a plug would you suggest, and do you know a part number? Lol. You've been really helpful!

    I'd run a al605 but you really need more flow mods

    Hey lishap, thanks for the input. Would the ZZP powerlifting work for keeping those front pistons from cracking?

    The PLOG and DP setup is an easier install but for about the same price or maybe a little bit more you can get a full set of headers (Speed Daddys on ebay). If you plan on possible modding more down the road i think most would say just go with headers. Basically whats happening in small is your pulling more air in with the smaller pulley and have no way to get the extra air out, causing KR.
