I'm addicted to taking cheap shots, and this one is just screaming at me. But I'm trying to cope with my problem, so I'm gonna take the high road here and keep my mouth shut.

Looks good, did you have some pros install it, and if so, how much did they charge for paint/labor?

lol, its the metallicness in the paint. it changes colors in diff lights.

look at the color above the pinstripe, and the color below the pinstripe. looks weird huh? when you get up close to the car its the same color.

Looks good, sorry to hear about the addictions. I wish I could quit smokes.

Did you ever think about taking the wing off or adding an aftermarket? For some reason that wing dosen't do it for me. I mean if your going for looks I would go wingless.

I can attest to that. There are more parts out for the ss/sc.

More parts = more money. More money = debt. Debt = bankruptcy. Not good.

P.S. He wasn't telling you it's pointless to mod a 2.2, he just meant you would be spending more if you did.

Nice ride, to me it would be perfect if you had 18 inch rims instead and a lowering.

Other than that, who isn't addicted to performance?

Same here - I was impressed with the quality. You do get what you pay for. And if you want to make it "ram air" it's set up nice for that. I'd really like to see someone with an RKSport ram air hood get the GMPP intake.
