Just wait...it gets worse. I told myself I would never need a tune...headers...intake....

I don't need it, but...yeaaaaaaaaaaa. Just wait. 12 bucks turns into 500 turns into 5k turns into a SC.

Here's the link. It's the blue with white stripes. Tell me if this isn't the coolest engine cover idea ever. Many others look great too, but this one just does it for me. I think it'll look great in red and silver on my car. We'll see!!

Be careful of the Katzkins.. I had them on my Solstice...BIG mistake. Cut wrong, had to be replaced, and then the leather dried out and craked in less than a month. Even after putting dressing on it more than once.

Great thread. I have seen the seat stitching done and it looks great, just takes some time.

You thinking of painting your wheels?

Ironheadspearo · 01-10-2011, 12:02 PM

Soap and water is the best bang for your buck.

No..I'm not big on colored wheels. Black looks okay but not a big fan of the other colors. My car is Red so I think I'd better stick with silver wheels.

Hawgredcamaro · 01-10-2011, 12:40 PM

I'm looking for more ideas. Anybody got any?

With a dremel, clear silicon, red reflective tape, red LED bulbs and foil tape for the bowtie you can do this:

And for the interior you can go to an auto parts store and buy this light rope by Pilot Automotive and glue it in the crease where the fabric trim meets the door and dash panels like this:

(I take horrible dark shots)

Dang dude! You are the official King of Cheap....lol
Looks great, way to go

A used nitrous kit is the best bang for your buck power mod. My first kit only cost me $280 and was in great shape. You can throw on an additional 50 horsepower to the wheels safely with no tune.
