Fixing bumper cover

Thanks buddy.

I got a fender, intercooler, rad, and am fixing the bumper. All I need is a hood, preferrably black. Thought it would be easy to find but the ones I am seeing at junkyards are at crackhead prices (400).

I actually have a hood, but a) it's blue and b) I'm kind of wanting to hang on to it in case something happens to the carbon fiber one that's on the car now. BUT, if you need a loaner hood till you can find a black one, you can borrow it.

Tough one. 5.0 will slaughter the Evo in a straight line and the Mustang is pretty equal on a race track too. I love both though. If I had to choose I would pick the Mustang. 430 at the wheels with tune/intake and exhaust is hard to pass up.

If it were me I wouldn't get the 3.73s though, unless you only want to drag race. 4th isn't 1:1 in them, 5th is.

Rofl, Mustang without a doubt.

Hell, the auto cars with just a converter, bolt-ons, and tires are hitting 10s.

I ran 20% all around (not including front window) and I lasted about a year. Peters Township finally pulled me over and gave me a fix-it ticket.

It depends on the location. In the South Hills area, they are pretty stingy.

Coming up South 18th St yesterday, A guy in a white sunfire slammed on his brakes and threw it in reverse. I seen the car behind it slam on its brakes and I locked mine up. ABS carried me right into his ass and luckly I was able to cut the wheel to the right and it was minor scratches. Wash, Clay, Polish, Wax cleaned it right up! The cobalt was MUCH stronger than the legacy GT.
