    AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH the shifter's largeness poked me in the eye!
    Looking good mate, my suggestions:
    1 - Fix that butched air box!
    2 - Switch to the VS L67 CAI
    3 - Loose the nudge bar bush boy

    Question, does it run a clutch fan? All the roller block 5.0lts run thermos, yet yours still has the fan shroud.......

    Ahh thanks for that, wont quite be that low unless i put airbags in it which wont happen. But it has made up my mind about those clear tailights though. They look good!

    I think I prefer the original taillights. I think the clear tails can work well on some cars...but I think the stocks will suit your whip a little better.

    no fair. i cant have clear tail lights. cops pulled me over for mine, said that they were illegal because there were no reflectors in the lenses. therefore not ADR compliant. i tried to argue the fact that the stocko ones didnt have any and the fleckies were in the bumper which i pointed out but didnt want a bar of it. got rid of em because the last thing i want is to make an enemy out of a coppa in a small town.

    i dislike tinted lights, the clear tailights blend in well with the clear side repeater, the chrome side strips and my mags.
