Oh i totally agree, I am one of those poor people that always cared about my mpg while driving my V8s.
Thats partly why i have always been a fan of turbos over superchargers. I want the power but perfer to keep my efficency.

Are there any downsides to getting an upper intake plenum? Where did you get yours from? And how was the install? Also, can you do this if the rest of your intake is stock?
Sorry for the questions. I'm a bit of a noob at this. =)

no downsides at all. the stock plenum is the worst part of the stock intake setup on the GT and this defintiely helps it out. install is fairly easy, just a couple bolts is all.
i'd say go for it

I got mine from CJ Pony Parts. They usually have free shipping on wednesdays, so you can save like $12. The install is super easy. Should take about 45 minutes if you take your time. And yes, you can do it if your intake is all stock. The only other thing I've done to mine is a MAC filter. You'd probably notice a little more with a CAI.

Headlight tints came today. They're way too dark, and almost look blue. 
I'll see if I can exchange them for something else, or else sell them. $10 shipped anyone?

And to think I only laid them out over the headlight. I never actually "installed" them.

Then she'll try to return them after she gets ticketed.
