If anyone is interested, the other hood / nose like mine is for sale for $750. There is also a set of JBA long tubes + off road mid pipes (no cats) new in box - $550.

Not running yet....... my understanding is his short block has been ready for a few weeks, but when the shop went to swap his factory heads onto the new block they found damage in one of the heads. I believe he is working on getting a factory repair or replacement head.

All of this because he didn't think he needed to install a KB BAP to his factory fuel system..... One test drive, and kaboom.

BAP? Big **** Pump?


I photo-chopped in a chin spoiler from 2K7 Vista GT's car and a tri-bar grille emblem. Yep, that is the plan for next year...

Well ordered and paid for the hi-def camcorder on Sunday, and opted for expedited shipping. It was shipped out yesterday morning, overnight air delivery. UPS shows up today- 2x; and no one was home to sign for the friggin' thing. Love throwin' money down the drain LOL.

Been there also. It would be nice if they would tell you in advance they are sending something that requires a signature. But they don't.

Well surprisingly, the driver made a 3rd stop out about 6pm, so I got it today.

Well, I understand that the Spoiler Fairy is holding on to one for me.


I have about 9,800 miles and I got a little nervous after hearing about how the plugs can be a pain to get out. Especially if they separate, so I decided to pull the spark plugs out, clean them and apply the anti-seize.

No problems; they all came out easily. One had some gummy carbon. The others were just dirty. But there was definitely carbon right at the seating chamfer on all of them. I used a small screwdriver to knock the carbon off. I applied the anti-seize on the first plug and installed it. I decided to see how much of the anti-seize squished out so I took the plug back out. It seemed to pick up a lot of crud from the spark plug bore, so I wiped it off and reapplied the anti-seize and did the final install. Did the same to the remaining plugs.

Started right up...

Glenn, if you mean the add-on, touch pad keyless entry I believe most of them are wireless.

Scott, I have the SSE Rear Valance. If I had it to do over again, it would be a CS rear, the little defusers that are usually matte black would be red also.
