I can't wait to order my GMMG
then you will actually be able to hear my car when I start it ![](http://www.sccow.com/joshs/reallyexcited.gif)
I remember both times at the track when i'd go to leave I'd have to double check to see if the car was running cuz I couldn't hear it.

Oh well... I think my list for mods to get soon are, brakes (iRotors or Wholesale Direct), Prothane susp, lid, gmmg, AMW Catch can, then do the body work (firehawk hood, anniv spoiler, firehawk front bumper, fix rocker panel and replace pass. door, wings west air dam/side skirts, french in front plate cover). Then get kook's and go on from there (cam, hotchkis springs, wheels, etc)

Thats a list you got there josh. At least you are taking the right approach, doing the body first. MOst guys that guy to build a car, build a motor first and slowly work on the body and then when the motor gets done they put it in and then thats it, it runs so hell with the body work.

Yeah I have bumper blemish from getting backed into by a minivan, and I still haven't gotten it fixed... happened over 2 years ago too. If you get going on the go-fast mods, you will just keep putting off the appearance stuff... at least that's what happened to me.
I keep thinking "This will be the year I take care of some of the appearance." And surprise surprise, it never happens.

No way, a fine coat of dirt prevents drag as well... plus if you go fast enough, it's like sandblasting the paint, gets out all the swirl marks. ![Grin](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_grin.gif)
And don't let anyone tell you that an inch tall mound of rubber in the wheel wells slows you do either... it only slows you down if it starts rubbing on the tire.
