I changed the horn grills to chrome(kinda hard to tell in the pics) But went with black for the cooler vent. Wanted it to be understated. The blue car has a vent on both sides but they are body color and hard to see. I think having it on one side looks ..."purposeful"

Shawn,

I vote for the chrome look also. Good idea also to bring it down directly under the horn grill, makes it seem like it belongs there.

That blue car is very nice. What kind of lip spoiler is on that front? It looks smaller than some I have seen????

He has an ST body so I guess the spoiler is an RSR? He has a add on lip underneath.

Well, I added my duct work and THREE fans to the oil cooler. They are the computer box type that (I think) earlySman recommended? There was a thread not too long ago about them. Anyhoo I will get pics up later today. I put them on the back of the cooler as they are pull type fans. I hope I don't have clearance issues. I am just going to wire a switch so I can flip them on when sitting in traffic.

Oh yeah, I also painted my calipers. I swore i wasn't gonna do anything to this car that didn't enhance performance in some way...Maybe just this once.

Painting the calipers could help improve performance. The added weight of the paint may help you stop faster!

Fancy pants calipers are VERY expensive so I made my own!
Does anyone think the fans will create a clearance problem?
