Well all the new bits and pieces make the car handle, and stop amazingly well - I still can't get over the difference - and the addition of the magnaflow bits make it sound as good an any duratec I've heard - so frankly I'm really enjoying driving this car.
The new rims and tires are waiting for me to pickup in N.Falls - once I put them on I'll post up some pics.
Still trying to decide whether or not I want to niteshade my grill and try and make it look like black chrome or simply paint it body colour ... my concern is that the niteshade might not stand up as well as base and clearcoat might, but then again I guess I could clearcoat over the niteshade.
Question to the experts ... anything I need to know about clearcoating a grill over niteshade?
One guy at a body supply store said not to use the rattle-can clearcoat because it doesn't have some special agent to make it flexible - and he says that for a grill you really want a flexible clearcoat.
I do have a compressor and HVLP spray gun, but frankly I hate the idea of the hours of cleanup after a 10 minute spray job - any suggestions?
