    Yup. The guy I got it from said the PO had done the top end recently before he got it. After tearing it down I don't believe it, I know it had a new exhaust manifold but most of these bolts don't appear to have ever been off before. So if this last another 285k miles before it needs work I'll be happy. :D

    Old hood cost too much to repair so i went that way. I haven't had any problems with it. Its alot stronger than you think.

    I removed my lower Valence, wired up some orange LED strips to be my new turn signals, and painted my centre console black! Except for the arm rest. Also wired a blue LED strip for a reverse light to actually see, no pics of that yet but ill get some up soon!

    Drove down to Florida, ate some bath salts, and roamed Miami beach naked trying to bite the ass of every hot babe I saw. That is until the police tased me after I growled at them.

    .....

    At least its more exciting then saying filled it up with gas and drove to my boring ass job.

    Very nice! I did the same thing with the valence except I bought some led fog lights from walmart and mounted them underneath the bumper so they're as close to factory location as possible. I didn't realize they had multiple colors and grabbed a box next to one that said amber so I have blue front signals now :D I'm not sure of the legality of it but I kinda like the look, as ricer as it is :p I guess I'll keep them until johnny law tells me to do otherwise, they haven't said anything yet and I know several cops have seen them.

    I realllyy wanted blue ones but then i started thinking of it being illegal.. and i dont really need any more reasons for the cops to pull me over! i was suprised they had orange and so far theyre the only ones ive found that are visible in the day too! the only thing is i had hyper blink.
