I have been waiting for CDC to release this hood scoop since before I got my car last Apr.
Brake calipers are painted a color changing paint Very dark blue,dark purple/red, depending on light.
Possible a Cervini ducktail in its future.
Performance mods to follow soon are 3.73 gears along with C&L plus Alternative Auto tune. An outside chance for a TRQ converter from Alternative if I feel the need for it .

Very nice mods!
I think the CDC ducktail looks better. But Cervini is great too!

I had both painted by a local body shop.

lasalop, I like the CDC duck tail, but dont like the coverage of the 3rd brakelight and dont want to use the one they sell for the upper back glass.

You named your car ( which I still don't get anyway ) after a guy? I thought that inanimate objects that were given names as some sort of term of endearment were traditionally given female names.

I like the Cervini duck tail over the CDC for the exact reason you stated.

I have 3 sons, 33, 31 and 22. They all love cars. Jeremy James, who would be my 4th son had he lived longer than 14 months would be 29 now, thus the name.

Randy... Car looks great! I haven't seen that scoop installed before... Do you have any better (full hood shot) pictures of it installed? Have you definitely set your mind on getting 3.73 gears? I just had FRPP 4.10's installed and love them... Much better acceleration in any gear, but not overwhelming... I don't think you will even notice any difference between 3.73 gears and stock (IMO)... You will, however, notice a big difference with a CAI and tune installed!

Checking with Lido of Alternative auto he suggests the autos dont need as much gear because the autos are pretty sttep in first as compared with the manual. Says with too much gear in rear axle you can rev out of power band beforeyou shift ...
