Thanks., yea all thay is coming out, along with A/C. My cold start assist is actually disabled and the UIM blocked off, but I havent gotten around to removing the bottles yet. And as for the S4 lights, I actually dont think they look bad, they just need to be body colored, like the 10AE. But I came across a good deal on these S5 tails, so I decided to swap em..

Beautiful looking car man. I see you went to the dark side (S5 tail lights 
...but I guess it was a good deal j/k). I still love the aero parts that you have on there (and no longer feel original at the sametime 
).
*shameless plug*
DAMN those new suspsension components make the car look even better standing there! And you say it handles like a dream?!? Damn...those things must be awesome! *end of plug*
Sweet car man

Kiyo: Hehe, thanks. And yes, you gave me a great deal on the suspension setup... I owe you one
Wozzom: Im in SouthWestern PA, about a 45 minute drive from Pittsburgh.
TonyTurboII: Before paint it was sprayed with a type of sealant , to prevent any moisture getting into the rubber, and also to help the paint stick. Most urethane paints should be flexable enough to work, but I think they do have a special paint for this type of material.

You're welcome man, anything to help. Now then...when are you gonna get a short shifter and stop worring about that sloppy shifter?!? I really think that's all you'll need anyhow, btw what bushings did you get?
I won't make any comments on the "prancing ponies" you have coming out of the rear of the car.

Nothing to see here.
Did you add the Sport wing? You have the car listed as a GXL in your sig, you may actually have a Sport, no? Your front strut towers don't have the AAS connectors either. Wasn't AAS stock on the GXL?
Aside from my silly questions, the car looks awesome.
ICEMARK HELP!

Yes, my car is a GXL. I added the sport wing, and also removed the AAS actuator strut tops, and replaced them with the normal ones when I installed my new suspension setup. I will also be removing the center switched for the "sport' and "normal" modes, so no one will be able to tell it was originally a GXL *cough* heavy pig * cough*
Thanks

I restored an '87 Sport but left the awesome nubby wing black. I liked the black and gunmetal look and keeping the stock aero package in black really helped offsetting the body color. I think you may want to see what powdercoating those 'vert wheels black may look like

i personally like the original 'sport' spoiler it get you the best drag coef. along with the aero pieces of course. I can't wait to put mine on but I have to bend the metal strips back into their original place first. your car looks really good though. Makes me want a set of s4 vert rims, and really you got to love the s5 tails. Matt22

Thanks alot guys. Feels good to know other people appreciate some of my hard work. Ive actually been contemplating getting the centers of the wheels powdercoated black, and leaving the lip polished, but Im nit sure hw it would look.

DO IT!
It would look amazing.If you did that, send your hood to be done the same colour. I know I know, it sounds rice or whatever the hell you want to call it, but you need to see the silver with a gunmetal grey hood. charger- has a parts car the same colour as your car, and he got a different hood for it (which by chance happened to be the stock darker gunmetalish coloured hood). Anyways, everytime he or I get parts off it I'm just astonished by just how beautiful it looks.
Honestly.
Almost makes me want to change my paint scheme.
Combine that with Polished lip gunmetal rims, and.. it would be.. just..

Love it! Look just like mine except for the wheels. Mine needs new shocks beyond badly @ almost $200 a piece. OUCH! My husband wants to convert the AAS. I won't let him I want to keep it stock. Any advice on AAS?
