i just went and talked to a guy tonight about painting the engine bay in my car, he's going to be taking it in a couple weeks. he lives out in clarkston and does "side" work out of his garage which is actually an entire body shop. he has a frame rack and a down draft booth in his "garage" his name is carlo's and his number is 248-701-8618 might be worth a shot to see what he could do. he's a bit backed up right now so if you're not in a huge hurry he'd probably be able to do it

thanks, i'll give him a call to see how much it would run...

thoughts on this spoiler...found one locally, it is abit to...rice than i would like but it might look good (just the spoiler not the body kit)

get an SS spoiler, dont mess with that stuff

[badinfluence]

yea, its hard to tell how big the spoiler is, i'll go see in person first

[badinfluence]

for hoods, I want it to open/close like stock without hood pins

what does "bolt-on" mean, i'm assuming like stock w/o hood pins correct?

Yeah, bolt on is bolts onto the factory hinges and latch. Pin on requires you to have hood pins to hold it on, also sometimes referred to as a lift-off hood.

The spoiler looks crappy. It's a mid-wing that sits up 6-8" off the decklid. Back when I had my 94 I wanted to put a different wing on it and was somewhat interested in that style wing but after seeing more pictures it looked really ugly and out of place. They have an even higher version that looks like the Supra factory wing from the last years they made it. That looks REALLY horrible.

yep i googled the spoiler and found it on some cars, not what i'm looking for

I'm going to get that hood then

new fender, bumper, halo's are on the way already

I like the cowl hood. Everyone puts an SS hood on their car. I want a cowl hood for my V6 but it'll probably never happen.

[badinfluence]

thats a VFN 2" bolt on

like you said... everyone goes SS, i think it might look good just need to find some cars w/ that hood to see

[JoeliusZ28]

something doesnt look right about the dimensions of that SS hood to me.

I personally thing the Dick Harrell style cowl hoods are the best looking LS1 hoods.

[badinfluence]

what doesn't look right?

it's hard to see the lines but i figured that was because it was flat white

[JoeliusZ28]

the proportions of the scoop just appear wider than what an LS1 scoop should be. the image they have "on car" is likely just a shot of a real SS. I could be wrong, just be careful. I usually ask around tech board and see if anyone has bought one before.

[GETGONE]

It's just the cutout for the scoop opening that's larger. The rest looks to be the right proportions. I have seen some that look really crappy and out of proportion though. The scoop opening is what is throwing this off.

new plans:





I'm thinking it might be easier to swap the LS1/A4 into this new car lol
