    Gonna get her lowered soon, (free money from the government hells yeah).

    I probably wont do too much to the engine pretty much because of the $$ and to spend that all on a 6 its not really that worth it. But wouldnt mind doing some CAI mods.

    ive given in, and im getting an exhaust done. $260 gets me a redback 2.5" from the cat back sounds like a pretty fair price to me lol.

    Got quoted for my damage to the front bar and front quarter, and to colour code the skirts, and the guy wants $1000! $800 if i supply my own front bar already painted!

    So ive got alot of looking to do, need to get that price down! lol
