Greg as for the SBC, I do enjoy flying low, but the Nismo wing, despite Daveed's comments , lol, is really the only ones I have ever considered for my own ride.

My headlights are getting that nasty haze. Gotta get the Meg's compound and buff it out.

I looked and saw that my exhaust supposedly shipped out on March 14th, so I think it should be here this week. I'm debating on whether to detail the car first or put the exhaust on first.

BTW, my 9 year old battery still works.

Not as impressive, but I have had my car since 8/2004 and I have the original battery (though only 21k miles )... though haven't started the car this year yet. I do have a tender on it, so thinking it should be fine. Taken proper care of, these batteries seem to have good longevity
