not a fan of the saleen kit for the LXs? gonna run the cobra grille insert again? for some reason, the GTs without the insert just look "ho-hum" to me.

my ultimate look for my vert is, saleen ground effects, cobra grille insert, heat extractor hood and the saleen wing. riding on either 17 or 18 inch Saleen Speedstar rims... whichever rubs less....lol

hahah i actually do like the saleen kits on the lXs...but i think they just dont look right without a wing, and there is no wing that looks good on a notch to me...and if i go with the GT kit, i'd get the stalker front bumper...and yeah it'll either be a 2.5 or 3 inch cowl, or the heat extractor hood

nice, I was not a fan of the heat extractor hood until I saw one on a vert at the show @ CJponyparts. I fell in love with them then lol..

I like my cowl, but its a cheap one

yeah i like the heat ecxtractor hood cause it is something different, and does look hot..i would do that or the cobra r with the svo scoop to be different...but cowls are just the sex on our bodies...


i actually saw some pics online of a notch with saleen kit, cobra wing, and fr500s and it looked pretty damn sexy

alright, update time...its been awhile, the dealership he worked at closed, so he had to change to another one, his baby is due today, he moved into his new house..so my car has been on the back burner for awhile lol

sooo, everything is in the car..they got it to crank, but won't turn over. he said they pinpointed it to a wiring/connector problem, and that they have to solder some things and then it should fire right up..after they get it running, all that needs to be done is put the seats in, put my autometer gauges in (and install the a pillar holder w/ gagues) and put the body together..and then thats that. oh, i'll also need to get a new windshield.

so now when i say 2 weeks or so, i really mean it!!! haha..ahh i'm really excited. he said he'll call me on thursday hopefully telling me that it's running.

only thing that sucks, is gotta love northern jersey, i get it back when the roads are COVERED in leaves, most of them wet and compacted to the road, so i can't even get on her or else i'll wreck this one too lol
