its carbon. thinking about lowering the car sometime but local roads are bumpy and some pot holes here and there.

also i live in border or 951/909 where all the dairies are. i was just wonder what cabin air filter do you guys use and how often do you change it. i changed mine few weeks after getting the car and now im smellin the cows now. before i changed it i didnt notice anything it was all clean air.

what brand hood did you get? ive been looking for one, but i want it to use the standard latch....no hood pins.

i like the look though. and i hear ya on lowering. my driveway angle is whats keeping me from doing it.

JRGS400 - thanks and congrats to you too man.

3rdelement - i got my hood from http://braverinc.com/ i talked jay. he helped me out on getting the hood. he could tell you everything. he was also local so pickup for me hehe. i could tell you the hood is good. im happy with it. it isnt pre drilled for the window sprayers or oem hood stick holder. im not too worried about it myself.

How much did powder coating cost you for all your wheels. i wanna do the same but might just spray paint with darker matt gray.

Everyone: thanks

g2low: my wheels are a bit faded actually. its probably the lighting, how the sun its the car.

vietdeluxx: as of right now thinking about spraying the wheels to a darker matt gray(waiting for a warm day to spray, still lil windy here too), lowering it about inch, changing cluster and dash lights(looks really simple), side reflector and rear trunk tail light to clear, pioneer avic f900bt (i think it is) double din navi/dvd player, new hood prop, tint. i might also want to change the tail light cuz i dont like the looks em. remind me of euro lights and lose a few more pound by taking out the windshield washer tank and pump. no need since im not gonna put my sprayers on. cf trunk maybe.

stuff i need replacing right now are both the acc. and timing belt. googled gates racing and finding it for about 65+sh is that right?. both air and cabin filters. hitting the 130k mark soon. yea i know lots of miles. mostly freeways. took the car up to UT a week after i got it. lol

spotted sunday night white is300 with cf trunk not sure what boy kit, turning into the shopping area off the 15fwy anyone?

Welcome and I always loved the Solar Yellow 1gen. Make sure to keep it waxed as the Yellow fades fast. What a nice looking ride. I love your optional graphite wheels as well.
