Keep up the good work!

Wow. Thanks for all the comments guys. I greatly appreciate it. To the guy that mentioned the paint....believe it or not, that's actually the original paint.

Looks Great. Keep it going in that direction

If you haven't already done so, I would spend the time and necessary dollars on Anti-theft security. Do a search on the forums to come up with ideas on effective "layers of security".

That's always good advice. I actually have an Alpine alarm. Don't know the model number. It was actually already on the car when I got it.

Thats a start!

However, that isn't going to keep someone who really wants that car away from it (as many who have had as good of looking cars, and had them stolen, will tell you).

As Matt93eg suggested, take a look at the threads about security suggestions. Properly installed and hidden killswitches are always a good way to start, besides a security system.

Good luck!

Just checked back on this thread. Didn't realize there were more replies. The wheels are 15" Slipstreams (Gun metal). Don't know what percent the tint is, but it's the darkest allowed legally here in Florida.

You are correct. It's to shield the heat away from the intake. Not to mention, I feel it ads a nice clean look to the car.

And to the previous poster.....yes, it's a custom made intake, but it's done by a local shop here in the Tampa Bay Area. I would be happy to get you a price for your specific car if you like. PM me if you want some more info.

Thanks again for all the compliments. Wish I had checked back more soon. :-)
