Was that supposed to be some kind of euphemism?

I know you said the engine bay, but for $1k a nice exhaust should fit the bill, or coilovers, or a large down payment on some Akebonos.

the plenum is composite by the way. what about braided lines and stuff like that. have never really done much to previuos cars as far as engine bay dress up so any ideas would be great. im sure you all have done a lot to your bays! thanks again all

I'll sell you my GTM Stage 2 S/C (for an FX) for an unreal price but you have to figure out how to retrofit it yourself.

That, or get a dashcam -- http://gshack.org/?p=387

Since you mentioned you have springs and have $1k to burn I'd bite the bullet & get some coilovers, much better and with your sways you'll really get a nice controlled ride and just the height you want.

It's for an FX, was planning on getting one to replace the G, then plug the S/C in, but i'm having a hard time letting go of the G.

I could retrofit it, but that would put the G down for a while, and being in TX, i need a car for daily duty.

I know, 1st/2nd/3rd world problems eh?
