I have something to look forward to. When my 99 gets fully broken-in (only 65k now) I'll be able to get 30+ mpg too.

Hey James thanks for checking in, I love your car bro, she's a inspiration for what's goin down here.

The hood that came with the car just wasn't for me, non functional ram air, some like the old school stinger. If it was something functional I may have kept it on.

The new hood came off a TR Z, almost perfect. I bought it used from a forum member.

As for the spoiler, it was a stick on, which I just couldn't deal with on my car. I do know most all the rear spoilers these days stick on, and in the future I may have to go with it. I like the smaller ZR1 lookin spoiler and may give it a go later on.

When I was looking for a car, I liked um on a lot of different cars, had the C5R race look. But after living with um for a week or so I didn't care for um. The more I looked at them the more the front of the car looked like a giant salamander.

Like the stock look so much better
