Nice. Welcome to the board!

I like the black paint on the scoop. The overall color scheme works really well. I even like the wheels, despite the fact that I'm pretty worn out on Torque Thrusts and have never cared for black wheels.

Your mod list looks pretty good too. A couple thoughts:

1. Halo headlights are lame and ruin the lines on the front of the car (IMO); if you want do change something, do an HID conversion.

2. A missing item on your to-do list: airbox lid.

3. Another missing item: Subframe connectors.

4. Forget the Pacesetters and pony up for a set of Kooks or QTP stainless headers and Y pipe. Better power, better fitment, lower engine bay temperatures, and no rust. Plus, when they get discolored from the heat, it looks awesome. Totally worth the extra money.

5. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong here, but I don't think a cam and headers warrants an 85mm throttle body. The stock one is fine. Spend your money on something more worthwhile.

6. Throw in a set of chrome-moly pushrods while you have the top end opened up.

7. Don't forget to get it tuned. A mail-order tune should be sufficient.

That is exactly how I want to paint my hood, and the exact rims I want.

Infact, I'd be very content with having that car. So give it to me?

yeah I already have all the Performance parts to put on it. So I already bought the headers etc.. I had Pacesetters on my WS6. No problems what so ever. My car is a garage queen. So no rain or snow etc... It is basically all brand new and fresh Paint all over. I can't wait to get it tuned and on the road for the summer. Should be ready in 2 weeks with all mods completed. Looking at putting 400-420 RWHP with everything.

Do they have equal-length primaries? Kooks and QTP do, and that's what makes them perform better than Pacesetters and other more affordable options.
