Bolt ons for now. It's an 04 so the Genreal still has to fix any problems.

NV, your car is one of my favorites I see around. Love the red with the black wheels.

As far as mods go, my '98 had every bolt on imaginable. My '01 so far will only have a cat back and CAI...for now.

Sorry, but there's nothing simple about my pole, and once again, it needs no modifications. Didn't someone already start this topic, with the same mis-spelling of the word poll? Do I detect an echo in here?

Hello? Hello???

Your poll seems to be engine related. All mine are body and electrical.
No engine mods.

350HP is good enough for me.
