    Nice, I've been wanting to paint mine that color. Where'd you pick up the paint?

    Nope, L36 is the 97-03 3800. L67 is the 97-03 Supercharged.

    You should build a 4" FWI for that thing, trust me it sounds sick on the N/A engine. You'll see some minor performance gains as well, plus you'll never have to change the air filter again.
    Clean ride btw.

    Its just some screws, I had to have GTPJOE help me with mine I wasn't sure how to do it either. If you know anyone that can help you theres a write-up in the how-to section on how to build the intake.
