if the new throttle body is about a 10mm upgrade or so i'd be down. Was thinking of going with a new downpipe too, to complete my exhaust set up.

They look just like mine

the pulley was pretty simple, jack the car up take the passenger side wheel off. Next theres an piece of plastic you have to take off and after that you can see the nut that holds the pulley on you take that off and tap the pulley with a screw driver and it should slide off. Then slide the new pulley on and put the belt back on and put it all back together. Have you installed your header yet? If not that will take you an couple of hours if your doing it by yourself, the pulley only took me about 30 mins though.

lookin good... debadge, new grille, and keep the spoiler. i think it looks hot.

How do those sportlines ride? have you bottomed out yet? thats the major reason why im thinking prokit rather then the sportlines. major pot holes in my area. but i like how low your ride sits

It is always a good idea to back into spots.. or pull through when you can... eliminates a lot of the dangers of parking.
