Thanks man. As far as future plans i really just want to do engine upgrades and eventually get new wheels/tires. I like the "clean" look so to look at my car it looks pretty stock but i've done a lot of work on it. I've done the LS1 "big brake" upgrade, KYB gas-a-just shocks/struts, lowering springs, BMR panhard bar and control arms, all bushings replaced on everything else, steel brake lines, ALL interior bulbs switched to led, sound deadened whole interior, navigation, custom stereo system(somewhat of an audiophile), backup cam, bluetooth, autodimming/compass rear view mirror, the list goes on and on lol... So as i already mentioned pretty much engine performance next.

^agree. That'll look good. Even consider going back to the stock red side markers?

*just realized you're a local. looks like you took these in Fairfeild. I'm right in Vallejo. Are you on Norcal-lsx.com by any chance?

Yep at the old dealership! Thanks bro! I actually stay in Pittsburg, but yes i'm still a local. I'm going to check out the Norcal-lsx site, this is my first time hearing of it. I think your car is the BEST looking Bird i've seen PERIOD! Hats off to you!

The backup cam is installed on top of the license plate. It's not the best camera in the world but it serves its purpose. As far as the side markers i think i'm going to stick with the smoke look for a while since i just put them on not too long ago.
