I'll probably do that when I replace the chrome trim around the window. Right now I don't want to introduce another shade unless the chrome is completely removed. It kinda makes the car a bit bit busy...Thanks for the suggestions though.

Car is looookking goood! Lowering it really made it more aggressive. With the black grill and dark wheels, your car is really looking stealth! How are you enjoying the SRT HFI/ECU? Pretty amazing sound when you punch it. Looks like you added the STB. With the springs, bilsteins, and STB, your car should be a lot more responsive.

Anyway, your car has really come together, keep up the good work.

Thanks Dave,

I am probably going to add sways too! Especially after your results that you posted a while back...

As for the SRT HFI/ECU I luuuuvvvv the sound. If you roll down the passenger side window, you can especially hear it whistle as it sucks in all that air! I should have done this mod FIRST! LOL! When U visit So Cal again next time we should definitely hook up-because I want to see those new 19 inch rims in person! Take care...

Brent,

I used the black-out tape I goit from Pep-Boys to cover up the chrome window trim. It look even more stealth. It's very labor intensive though...

I HAVE A 98 GS400 (PLATE 1BAD-GS). I'M GETTING THE STEERING ECU AND THINKING ABOUT THE SWIFT INTAKE SYSTEMS? ANY INFO FROM GS OWNERS ABOUT EITHER ONE. WHAT OTHER SUGGESTIONS DO YOU RECOMMEND?

ernie

go with the TC and HFI from Swift. They will make a big difference compare to stock. Give Mo a call for current price.
Once that done, than you'll need to add some coil overs and sways to better control your ride.

Reviving an old thread. I like the blacked chrome trim. Looks real stealth.
