next round of mods will be..

LCA'S
adjustable panhard
tint
clear corners
borla adjustable catback with cutout

it's mostly been maintenance stuff so far though...
new water pump and t-stat
new radiator
new belts/hoses
plugs/wires
had to rewire the VSS because a rat had chewed it up

Looks good. Don't get rid of your stock turn signal housings, just in case the clear corner continue to pop bulbs.

I'm replacing these pieces of junk because they melted the bulbs and I'm tired of replacing the bulbs. Plus they look cheap IMO
