Default Mod updates with pics

Just thought I would share some mod updates with my fellow C.F. members. Spent most of today washing and waxing with Pinnacle products (love the souveran carnauba wax) and took a few pics to show
new tint on windows (35% sides and 20% back)

also powdercoated calipers and zink coated drilled and slotted rotors

I finally took photo of ACI chin spoiler bought some time back thru group purchase here on the forum.

and last but not least, my new H.U.D. unit bought from forum vendor Pace This.

Was not sure if my 99 coupe had the H.U.D. cluster or not but luckley it did and install went very smoothly. Just a thought for anyone who is concidering a chin spoiler install, get used to gritting your teeth everytime you scrape the bottom of it on drive ways etc.. or accept the fact that some day your going to come across a fat possium or racoon lying in the road that you will be so kind as to pick up off the road for your fellow motorist. I am lowered on stock bolts so I only have 4 1/2" of clearance but it looks so that I guess we will just have to take our chances.
