it's just money - if you have extra (after taking care of yourself/family's basic needs), then spend it on whatever you want. I've always had really nice cars. When people ask me how I afford them, I point out that I don't drink, buy drugs, gamble, play video games, wear fancy clothes, or eat...
I removed it, but good lord it is a PITA! The bolt attaching it to the firewall is a bitch.
I took it out when I did an aftermarket intake. I like how it cleans up the engine bay a bit. I didnt really notice any change in sound. I took the tube out in my STi and noticed it was a bit quieter...
Nice.
In 2004, I found a bone stock Turbo Supra on a dealer lot for $19k - with 42k miles. I bought it, put 4k miles on it in a year, sold it for $29k. Wish I had kept it!! :headbonk:
I got an awesome trade in on my GT (the main reason why I decided to let it go), but I had to shop around. Find the vehicle you want to buy, negotiate on it, then tell them you have to get out of your current car before you can buy that one. Figure out your bottom line and make them come up to...
Yep, posting on forums will definitely get your mod addiction started. As will going to the track or meeting with local guys at shows, etc. It's a slippery slope, let me tell you! :headbonk:
I did the exhaust at about 300 miles. The Airaid intake and Bama tune went on at about 600 miles. Then I got serious and ordered a Procharger and a bunch of MMR stuff at 1000 miles. However, I ended up trading in the car/selling the blower before I could enjoy it.
I think you should wait about...
It looks good. My friend has it on his GT - although, he has the whole black and white thing going on, with tint, black wheels, black badges, etc. The plate completes the look!
I can recommend a good shop (Have known the owner for 15 years) but it's in San Ramon. If you can't find any closer options, shoot me a PM.
Welcome to NorCal
You're free to have your opinion, wrong though it may be.
For anyone else who wants a good deal on a brand new grille, PM me, and if you're ready to buy it, i'm happy to let you open it first and inspect it. :cheers:
Over the last month on here, I have sold a Procharger kit, Airaid Intake/Bama tuner, MMR Oil Pump Gears, Crank gear, Head Cooling Mod, Romac Damper, and a bunch of other things that were either still BRAND NEW like this grille setup, or lightly used when I traded in my GT that only had 1200...
LOL, yep. After a few too many close calls over the years (and one crash back in 2002) I decided to get a Subaru. I can still take the SS when it's warm and dry out!
