ok i think i am deffinately going to drop it, and do the rear spoiler..
about the front.. not sure yet.. bc i want to do a new front eventually.. maybe a roush.. so for chin spoiler.. i think ill just pick up a gt500 chin from the dealer for 50 bones.. and call it a day on the front end.. that would leave me with $450 to spend.. and would probably do the hood.. bc i lovee the way those things look.. but then again.. maybe the pullies would be better right now.. i dunno..
but after seein that cobra.. its stance was awesome.. i love how the *** end looks on that body.. (04').. so the gt500 rear spoiler and a drop would help me on that..
and if i can get this hood from a buddy (already painted, but black with flat black super stripe on the hood..).. only thing is that its the cobra R 2000 (the one wiht the wierd louver thing on it.. )
so who knows.. cant wait tho!

I've been considering a meziere electric water pump. Supposedly picks up ~11rwhp for about $300 and cools better to boot! You get most of the hp pickup you would get with a full set of udps w/o losing your alternator charging ability. Important to me with 1500w sound system...

And oh yeah, if you go with the lowering kit better throw in some caster/camber plates ($300) and new adjustable panhard rod (~$200) and also if you have a one-piece driveshaft either adjustable lower ca's or upper ca (~$300). That's what is holding me back from lowering, having to swap out most of my freakin' suspension components (not to mention spending at least $1000 to do it the right way).
