-tinted windows
-Stealth bulbs for your blinkers
-HOEN Xenon match bulbs for fog lights
-Fender strakes
-Valve stem rotary caps
-Rotor center caps for your rims

I could go on and on...

i should have guess you two . fender strakes would get in the way of my washing or my hands would get in the way . changing the lights out might work though.

front lip spoiler....rear wing, side skirt or side aero flares. I'm a body kit and wheels guy...so this is where I would push you Dash kit? Do you already have the front/rear rotary accents? If not, there is a guy on ebay who sells them in colors....a winning blue accent on the rear would look nice.

Are you a carbon fiber guy?

If your ready to do suspension swaps...you could always swap in a set of S-techs, some upgraded sway bars? Strut tower bars for the bling, bling.....

come on, let me know how much money I got...cause you know I got plenty of ideas.


oh, and Pulleys, or flywheel, or grounding kit...or....

Maybe tommorrow I can get some pictures in the daytime. AHHH this car made my car look like crap but his a mazda fan also so it was cool.

He actually has a house down in malibu, and has a hanger that he stores his cars. They live down here so his kids can go to school in oak park. Every once in a while they bring down one of their cars down from malibu, last week they bought down their 360 modena. Hope I get a chance to get some more photos before he stores it down in malibu wendsday.

Where is the hanger? U sure it's not somewhere else from where he lives? Cause I dunno where a hanger would be in Malibu, there's no port or airport in Malibu if I'm not mistaken. The hanger could be in Santa Monica at the airport, SMO, cause I have seen a yellow Enzo where I work at the airport. hmmmm

Blue would look great with your shiney chrome wheels. If you concerned about clearance, enough to make you avoid lowering springs, then I would recommend the aero flares. Less to get caught up on the apex of your driveway. I forgot that you told me about the driveway before, so we'll cross springs off your shopping list.

Get the aero package, that would be the safest and would make a huge improvement to the car. MS wing to top it off...wow, that would be great looking...and I think that would make the San Bernardino meet the largest collection of MS wings in the world

You should be able to find some of the parts in the For Sale section. I think there are even some side flares in b lue, on Ebay.

when i get home from work today i'll start doing some searching to see what i can find. my rims look good when there clean, but for some reason in this car i have hit the curb more times then in any other car . but their not too bad yet. what i need is camara so i can see the curb coming up. yeah my friend that went with me to simi valley when i got the short shifter, said the ms wing should be my next mod. she liked how it looked on jedi's car.. darn him and that wing..

I would guess its either in santa monica or at the camarillo airport since its closest to malibu. I'll prob talk to him again so I'll ask him.
