Stumpalump you really need to get rid of that ''intake'' and get youself a real one. the person that owned this car before you didnt know what they were doing when they put that thing on there. other than that its a clean looking car and once you get those 17'' Motegi's it will look sick!!

To Derk - Lower, slap bodykit on and paint, paint those calipers and drums red, and either clean or repaint your wheel wells black and you're golden.

To J-Stumpy - Not lookin' too shabby there, what's the Dynamat for? Never heard of it.

yeah, all it does is clean the air....other than that it serves no purpose, so i think i will cet a CAI then the rims cuz winter is coming and i dont want to screw up the new rims and a CAI is in my budget right now so i can take all winter to save for the rims

and the dynamat is to reduce engine noise and vibration

and i was thinking of painting my calipers and drums green but the drums have rust on them, how do you get the rust off to paint them?

I cant believe you have never heard of Dynamat. Alot of people use it to line there trunk so that subs dont rattle the shit out of everything. Also people line the floor of the cars under the carpet to cut down on road noise. So basically it deadens sound.

I don't know where you guys are from, but I've always heard Dynomat to be used in trunks so when Your bass hits, your trunk doesn't rattle, lol.

$15-$20 for rotors? wtf are you guys getting your parts from Salvation Army? They're usually around $140 a pair here, unless they're different brands or something? and My99, since when do you paint rotors? lol

AND ^^^ Thats exactly why i've never heard of Dynamat, I'm not into audio.
