Yeah I noticed some bolts loose still. Got em tightened up. A few q's what exactly does that do? How much is it? How does it work? How much and what does it change? And most importantly... How much is it?

Post a pic of quarter? If its not to bad you might be able to just sting it and then bondo it. I'm sure you know what you're doing but If you don't know something ask and I might be able to help. Lol

And Yeahhhhh haha I've been considering saving and buying another wrecked and sell for profit and keep mine... Wdu guys think?

Good idea, as you have the skills and the access to do everything.

Forgot to add as long as you make a profit out of it, and pick the right car. There will always be people that don't want to pay the full current market rate and might be prepared to risk buying one that's had the accident damage fixed properly.

From what I understand, the pop charger is more of a short ram intake, than a CAI. It basically just replaces your stock air filter with cone shaped filter that increases the air flow to the engine. This will increase hp and torque over a wide band as the air to fuel ratio is increased basically. It should add in the neighborhood of 5 hp and maybe a little more torque. You will hear a high pitch whistling sound as the engine reaches higher rpms. Overall it's a great and easy bolt on that will give you the most bang for your buck. I think brand new they run like 160? But if you look around a little especially in the marketplace threads you'll probably find a cheap used one. But like I said earlier I would go with a CAI if I were you, but that's my personal preference.

I subscribed to this thread and forgot about it over the holiday season but there were a few things I wanted to ask you as I have been doing a TON of bodywork over the last few years with no experience. Heres my car and the work I've done. If you ever return to this thread maybe we can shoot the ****.
