Welcome. Pics of car. lol But great mods, are Header, downpipe ( got one for sale ) catback, zzp stage 2 or 3 kit. Then for cooling mods cause our cars run hot, A bigger heat exchanger will help, a Option B, and dual pass end plate.

one way is if you have a photobucket ( photobucket.com ) . Go on there and upload the pictures. then get the image link, copy the link, and then past in the thread. if you want just message me them, and I can do it.
