This is a old news by a couple weeks but this is the first chance I've gotten online with my laptop. A Semi lost the entire tread off a tire and it came for my windshield. I swerved and missed it but it still clipped my antenna...the new one I JUST installed. So I installed a hidden antenna (which sucks BTW) and capped the hole. The black in that pic is a rubber gasket I had to make to seal it off and cover that little notch. I also painted my gauge bezel, radio bezel, vent buckets and vent '*****' Pewter to match the exterior.

Got parts for my exhaust build, 2 3" cherry bomb vortex mufflers, and 2 3" inlet dual 3.5" outlet exhaust tips.
Called TSP who were supposed to get their shipment of headers today, only to find out it has been delayed to next week.

This weekend I…..cut that god forbidden Flowmaster 80 off my car and installed a 10 series (I know flowmaster isn't liked here, I don't either, but the 10 series sounds sick with factory manifolds, y, and cats) got my SLP lid, smooth bellow, and K&N filter in the mail (bought all used for $80 on ebay!), cleaned my MAF, changed the spark plugs (never been changed before, car has 90,000 miles on it!) and changed the oil that's probably 8,000 miles old (it was BLACK) with TRC synthetic 5w30. Just bought the car a month ago and thought it ran good and was fast, boy was I wrong, this a whole new vehicle. It's amazing what normal maintenance can do, but then again I guess the old lady I bought it from can't get under the car and stick her hand in-between the manifold and engine to get to a spark plug, lol.

Power washed the engine compartment (the first time it's been cleaned EVER b/c the p/o must not have cared that much), eliminated the rest of the EGR system and plugged the hole in the intake (I installed my LTs awhile back and never got around to the EGR solenoid), and cleaned and painted the TB gloss black- it looks kinda funny next to the intake, probably gonna paint it satin black next week.

I kicked in the the rear bumper and told it that it was a piece of ****. The started to walk away and turned around glaring at it only to hug it say I was sorry baby. Then we went for a joy ride.

I installed a UMI Motorsports Short Shifter, she shifts much smoother and quicker. I love it!
