my car has been repainted and rebuilt! this weekend was the first time ive had a chance to drive it, and from the rebuild it feels like i have restored a lot of lost HP... the car is very peppy. on the other hand the exterior is immaculate in terms of dings/dents w/ literally no chips. just got a std clearcoat in the stock color. the biggest difference is how clean the hood is!
I was just looking in your engine bay pic....it that intake short ram, or did you pipe it down to fit a CAI? I have V6 as well, and I always thot that I would have to remove the cruise control unit to fit any type of intake into my car (altho I have no funds to do ANY intake on my car yet )
also, you plan on tinting those windows, along with the spring cleaning? I noticed that the front kit you're sporting doesn't allow for bumper signals, or am I missing something?
Lastly.....I'm liking those rims! Great job on the car...glad that you've got it back for more display on TN (referring to your past post about car being damaged...or was that someone else?)

the pin striping flows the headlights to the taillights. in my opinion i think it looks good. it matches the green/silver theme, and brings out a body line of the car. i used to hate the pinstriping but it has grown on me a lot- enough that im keeping it
as for the question about the CAI, it is in my trunk. i de-install it during winter/rain. it takes but 2 min to do. i might tint the windows (extremely mildly) for a stock tint look. you are correct the front bumper doesnt have signals. i have a secret plan for that though!
