Harsh crowd

I've already had about 4 keurig cups this morning.

Sitting at a computer all day from 9-5 will do this to you

I agree...LED's cost ~$30-50 for your full interior and another $50-60 for switchbacks/indicators....changes the look of the car....

another mod could be lower fog HID kit...cost like $50-ish....

Even though it may not be cheap depending on where you go, I would say tint. It's something that IMO improves the look of the car a lot.

And while you have your front bumper off to do the fog hid install, its a great time to do the poor mans air intake mod, I think there is a guy around here that could help you out

Also you could look into the DRL mod and if you do decide to go switchbacks then you may want to check out the relay resistor mod so they function properly.

Can't remember but if you found a 6 mt look into swapping over to GM syncromesh with friction modifier and possibly the slave cylinder check valve delete, and if you were unfortunate and grabbed an A/T then you may want to look into swapping the solenoids. Also doing the 3x3 flush.

Maintenance is always the first mod you should do. If your car isn't cared for and cleaned well then what good is anything else you are going to do to it.

There is alot of useful info on our cars in this forum.

Welcome and good luck......

Happy 4th everyone.
