Very clean looking ride! What other mods have you done apart from the FWI and the Intense sticker? A tune I'm guessing?

Also, most of the guys toss the cover, its basically a heat trap right on top of your SC. Cheers

I really haven't done that many mods to be honest. Intense FWI and 180 Thermo - G Power TR55 Plugs
PCM will happen next month, but I have to focus on my house payment first....but it will happen soon.
I put the SC cover on there just for the pics I took this morning. I usually keep it up in my attic.
I'll take more pics later tonight for lighting purposes.

Thanks!

Thank you very much. I bought the car about 3 years ago from a 78 year old retired attorney/family friend for $7k. It had 70k miles and has been garage kept since day one. I plan to keep this car for a long time, possibly pass it down to my son who is 10 years old.

It's prob my camera playing tricks on you. I need to locate a new drivers side tail light....it has a slight crack that allows moisture to seep in....it's the only cosmetic flaw on the car.

Looks great!!!

Not sure I'm a fan of the Intense sticker placement, but to each his own. I just have to look in my rear-view mirror for a reminder of what's up. :beerchug:
