I've been a member of this site for a little while now and I've been soaking up as much info as I can get. I asked around and found I needed to change my valve cover gasket so I while I had my valve cover off I decided to go ahead and paint it. So my engine went from
This:

to This:

in the past week! New header too! Sounds pretty good I like it!!
I also went ahead and painted my calipers,

I like them as well. I'm going with a black and blue theme if you haven't noticed.
And then here is an upclose on the valve cover

And that about rounds out my mods that I accomplished this past week!

I finally got my exhaust done, 2.5in from the flex pipe back, with a Borla XR-1 muffler. The whole setup sounds wonderful! Now I have the ebay header for my GT but I haven't encountered any sort of aftermarket flexpipe for that header or for the GT for that matter, anyone have any idears on where to get one, so I can have a true header back 2.5in exhaust?
Since added I can definitely feel better throttle response idk bout hp I doubt I'll ever get my car dyno'd but who knows. I'll try to get a sound clip up tomorrow hopefully I can find the camera. .
Unfortunately I won't be doing any mods for a while, I have the rest of my cruise to pay for and pay off my car, and I'll be going to school this fall, hopefully I can still be making enough to play with my baby tho. .

My future plans in the order I wanna get them done are, tint, drop, wheels, and then either combat front or 404 I think. . I just can't make up my mind. . The 404 would be way less expensive and easier to do, but to me the combat once fitted correctly is just sexy on the celi! I guess it'll all come down to how much bank I'm making when I can get around to getting it done. After I get the exterior done, I'll work on the interior again subs, double din DVD player, reupholstered seats, dash kit, basically whatever I can do I'll do, short shifter. That's the general idea
