Removing intake resonator so I can hear the 2.3L better

Then I guess I will get a AEM cai or something but I'm in no rush. I'd like to get my wheels powdercoated "gun metal" also. VERY nice with my car color. But I'm not gonna start spending all my pays in that car.

Nice car.....not crazy about the tail lights though. Either way, leave it stock. It will last longer.

Taillights are a bit ricy but I love the color of the car.

Nothing better then the smell of a new car.

I think the tailights always had a good flow with the car and never bothered me at all when I was looking at the car on the road The fact that they're not clear tailights make it look ok imo. Anyway, I like'em thats all that matters

Here's the part that I removed (someone else's picture):

Going with these ones might have made it look less.....importish, but like you said. You like 'em, which is what matters.

Those are the same ones !!

The different ones come with the non-GT, which has also no spoiler (the pic does), has 16"wheels (the pic has 17" like mine). It might no seem so but they are the same

I just love to drive this car so much. I wanna drive all the time. Feels so good to have something like this, so different than the mustang and the beaters I'm used to have. I guess thats what owning a new car feels like

You'll get tired of it pretty soon tough, not like a Mustang 5.0 My mom had a Protégé 5, it's a fun car, feels like a go-kart but the lack of torque is flagrant.
