Come on man, it comes with functional rear bumper cooling, that's good for at least 20 hp. & when ur going 100mph in reverse, it cools ur rear brakes. That's got to shave some serious ft. off the reverse breaking distance.

That would be a great front end for a front mount intercooler setup. My front mount intercooler is right against the front of the radiator so it sinks heat and has no airflow except for what is being pulled thru by the fan. With this front end and a new FMIC I could probably get another 100hp with all that cool air and a couple more pounds of boost, why do you think those rice cars do it.

Notice the TA it is on......they did not even paint the kit, because most likely the owner was not going to keep the kit on the car

That is absolutely hideous but you know there are people out there that think that kit is the shiznittiest.

Something funny I saw on that site is that they sell two different sway bar sets for our cars. One is the Suspension Techniques and the the other is the RKSport set.

The ST's are shown in standard measurement (inches) and the RK's are shown in metric (mm). The funny thing is not so much that they are both equal in size BUT... the RK's are actually Suspension Techniques bars but for $40 more.
