JUST BOUGHT THE 97' 3.0CL! HELP w/MOD!

Hi Everyone~!

I just bought the 97' CL 3.0. I've never done any kind of mods before. I need your help/advise. I really need detailed instructions. (like part number, cost, time)

Here are the pictures of my 3.0 CL.

1) Most of these are stupid newb questions. Just got the front clear bumper. How do u install?(no screw outside, how do u take it out?). What is the type of bulb inside?

2) Where is the side marker? Is that the one next to headlight? What is the bulb number and how do you replace it?

3) OEM shift knob looks so ugly. Where can I get those wood or other kool looking knob for the automatic? And is it easy to install?

4) Only thing I changed was 9006 bulb. DId you guys also changed the 9005 bulbs even when you never really use it?

5) Intake <= Which should I buy? Price? Can I put it myself, or must be installed by professional mechanic?

6) I didn't get the manual when I bougt this car. So I don't know the bulb numbers. Can anyone tell me bulb types? (dome, door, amber, turn-signal, etc...)

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate your help.

Below is the instructions on how to install flip trunk. I got it from my friend, and he said it will only cost $10 buks and less than an hour to do it. Like I said , I am a newb and haven't try this yet, but I thought some of you might wanna try it on your car..

O.k. some answers for you:

1. bumper lense screw is on the inner side of the "grill" end. Unscrew and it should pull out..however there is a tab on the other end holding it in, so be careful you dont break it.

2. The side marker light IS the one next to the headlight, however, i'm not sure the #. I'm still trying to find xenon blulbs in that size to match the headlights.

4. I didnt change my high beams either...no need.

Hope that helps a little

If you're interested in an AEM CAI for the 3.0, I'll sell you mine.

It's blue and doesn't have the bypass valve.

$100 shipped? Looks like new & I've still got the box it came in as well as the installation instructions. It's easy to install.

It's ALSO spring-loaded.....so don't have your face down close to it when you unscrew it....

Don't worry, it's not like a catapult or anything but it does have a little pressure behind it.
