Hopefully they show this time......


About the terminals, the nut is so far under the stuff that i can't get a grip on it....it has become very soft! But when i do and try loosining it, the whole thing bends....not fun at all

I don't like the headlight cover. Ruins the lines of the car. Looks "dirty". Sorry

My other one broke off and Ray at PFS epoxied it together for me but it finally broke completly off, the vented one is temporary....only $50 and already painted! I'm hopefully getting some sleek headlights soon.

Nice, I like the PFS bumper.

When you clean the battery terminals pick up some anti-corrosion rings at the auto parts store. They are little felt-like rings like these:



and they will prevent future corrosion problems.

Wow, that's one of the few aftermarket front bumpers that I think looks excellent.

I agree....^^^ I like the bumper. Almost looks stock with an updated look. Nice car. Yes, keep up the detailing and cleaning, and she'll look even better.

Question though, with your mods, don't you have (need) a PFC or at least a boost controller?

I like the bumper too. It looks like a '99 spec with the old turn signals. Although, I think I like the '99 turn signals better. By the way, what good does a vented cover do when you have a PFS CAI? Does it help reduce under hood temps?

mecman, like i said....the vented headlight cover is a temporary fix for my stock one that broke off one day when i turned on my headlights. It was only $50 shipped and already painted, couldn't pass that up. I don't think the vent would get much of any air to an open filter either. The headlight assembly is in the way.

RX 4 Speed, I have an AEM Engine Management System. It's the same thing but better than a PFC (not trying to debate with anyone, just personal preference). And because i have this i don't need a boost controller either.

Thanks for the comments on the bumper guys! I love it too, one of my personal favorites. Keeps the stock lines and has a huge opening for some fresh air.

Hey Brent! I was hoping I'd see a Greddy elbow in that bay (+ the pipe ) And I'd jump on an efini y-pipe while you're at it too. I def. noticed a difference (not just visually lol) when I installed mine.

Love the PFS bumper too. Hopefully I'll get to see it in person soon

The elbow and the pipe i got from you Ramy will be going on the car when i take it up to Ray, next week hopefully....i need to give him a call. I'm going to have him get me an efini y-pipe as well. Might as well finish up all the pipeing while it's in there. Hopefully i will get some more power out of the thing too. I'm going to get some 1300's too


About the AEM:
Well Ray and Peter at PFS kinda pressured me into getting the AEM EMS but it really does have more abilities than the PFC. I let Ray make the decision sense he is my tuner after all, but hopefully one day i will be able to make little fine tune adjustments by myself. I just don't have the time to learn how to tune the thing. I guess thats a downside to the AEM, you don't get a little keypad deal.

That nice clean oldschool PFS bumper is first original design by Knightsports before PFS start to market it as their own.

one of my personal favorites when it came out in 1993.

You sure you're not confused w/ the Knightsports bumper that RacingBeat started to market as their own?
