Forgot to post my new LED silver HVAC. I think the silver flows a bit better with my current trim. I need to get an updated interior shot as well.
Brakes are taunting me. I test fit them in my steelies and I'd need to shave a good amount off the caliper, so I'd rather not. Looks like they'll have to wait until spring. I can do the rear disc conversion then as well.

Updates, updates, updates. Let's see....
Grabbed some BBS reps for the snow tires, so much better than steelies. Decided not to raise it up at all either for the winter.
Winter mode
Car has been running great outside of blowing more exhaust gaskets. Getting real old having to replace the manifold>downpipe and the downpipe>catback every two months.
It was fun and games until we got hit with a nasty snow/ice storm and I blew the lip off coming home from work.
Snagged a decent looking black lip off eBay though, so that'll go on in the warmth. Ripped off the remnants so at least it looks okay for now.

Next I made the silly decision to go to ZZP to get on the rollers and get myself a tune. Got to ZZP, got on the dyno, lowered the rollers, and the sub frame sat on the dyno. We got it raised back up and on with the fun.
I didn't expect much of anything numbers wise, was going to more see what it might make, and to get the tune down and the car running well. The guys at ZZP ended up doing a great job, and the car runs great!
Made a little baby 142/140, but like I said the car runs much better, and it was fun to see it on the dyno

Look through Detroit craigslist. There was a guy selling a lip for literally every color balt. He had them on eBay so they were going quick, but I got mine for $120 from him. But yeah I wasn't too concerned about the numbers and more how the car ran.
