Yeah, I do, these were taken with my Blackberry in the spring right before I switched out the plates. Haven't taken any lately.

I have spent the summer eyeballing other 8's to see what I want to do with mine. Its pretty much as is...I have seen some really gaudy **** done to some of the 8's in this town. I almost love it just like it is but I think she needs more "personalization" heh heh.

I'm going to do a complete deep clean and wax next weekend as part of my prep to put her away for the winter. I'll probably take some better quality pics with my EOS. I'll post em.

:D

That is sexy... but nope. Just not for me. I like the reliability of my factory NA. I am not savvy enough to take care of that thing. And a super charger would really be OH SO NICE but cheapest option starts at 6K? You guys want me to have boost so much I'll start taking donations!

yup. start off with little things. Rims and things that don't look right are easily changed/repaired. lamebodoors and ugly paint jobs are not.

Congrats loggins! I highly recommend a short shifter. Oh and defog your air box like now. Takes ten minutes.

ManyRx, I'm actually thinking of maybe adding a bottle next year. Nice immediate boost for well under a grand. I'll take 9k's once he upgrades to turbo (see what I did there Ty?)

What is that? I've never heard of defogging an airbox before. Oh and which short shifter do you recommend?

AFE Short Shifter is kind of the standard around here. I absolutely love mine, it completely changes the feel of the car.

As for the air box. It is called a few different things but when it was first described to me it was called "defogging". Basically, open up your air box as if you are changing the filter. Within the air box there are two small plastic wedges that restrict your air flow a little. They are both held on by a couple of screws. Simply remove the wedges and you open up the air flow a little. For best results you can add a K&N drop in. You do get a tiny little gain and it takes less than 5 min.

If you do this you might as well clean your Air Mass Flow Sensor just for good measure. It never hurts to do that.

chun means dewalling your air box but yes its a good a mod and also remove the vfad.

K&N filter + dewalled air box + vfad removal = aftermarket intake sound
