Next was Wheels! HAD to get those off, always like Saleens, and decided to go with black ones and for the Black & Red theme.













After that, I went with the Smoked Cobras because the old ones were craked/foggy/ugly....

Stock exhaust sounded good, but it needed something else. I wanted to keep the old school muscle sound, so I went with Flowmaster Super 40's. I really like the sound, but not everyone does.

So because of awesome cali laws, you need to have a CARB legal cold air intake. Of corse I had some random no name cold air intake, and didn a 't pass smog. After trying to find a stock one for a month, I just said screw it and ordered aa 50 state CARB legal one.

MAC Cold Air Intake (CARB Legal)

Out with the Old


New Shiney One


Lookin Good




Passed Smog No Problemo! :bubba:

Sold the Saleens for some new wheels! I have always like Deep Dish, and thought Bullitts were classic, so that's what I got!
