it said that the performance on a 3800 series II is 13seconds to get to 100MPH and with this kit it would take 12Seconds to get to 107mph. unless i read it wrong lol

EDIT: nvm...i did read it completely wrong lol

#1: Nice idea - don't care for that style though. I like the "traditional" rally stripes

#2: Sure, why not (for aesthetics)

#3: Depends, you could run it straight to the battery or option 2 (depending on wear you are putting them) you can run them to the fuse panel. For example if you put them under the dash for floor light

#4-6: No comments

#7: Don't know about the brackets, but the seats will look cool

#8: Overkill

#9: Cool add-on

#10: NO WAY!! If you're going to badge it as a turbo for "looks" why not just put Corvette badges on it?

#11: A buddy at work did that on his Taurus (only in Blue). Looks cool at night!

#12: On the mirror itself? Like the arrow thing on some Caddys and newer cars?

#13: I don't know how much "lighting" they'll do through the car itself - they're just more for the driver or passenger to see something in the dark. The dome-light will give much more "car-wide" light.


In the end, it's your car. Do what you think is best. But most of these are more appearance mods. Honestly, if I were you, worry about paying it off first. Second, keep some spare money laying around, don't blow it all on mods because, remember, your car is 6-7 years old. Things can break quickly and costs can add up. Mines a '00 and I'm going to have to drop a new engine in it pretty soon.

I don't like chrome - other than the factory rims they put on the Intimidator editions. I don't have a frame around my plates. Some have some that have sayings on them "American Muscle" or the like. But I just thinks it's a little pointless.

#12 yes, its a arrow on the mirror...idk about it lol
Yeah, because, first you'd have to wire it somewhere to get power. Which you didn't want to do with the rope LEDs, then second, you'll have to connect it to the turn signal relays to make them blink. And that might turn out like hanging Christmas lights. Just a big pain in the a-- and when you turn them on they may not work! Ha. And I don't know about you but for me, that blinking on my mirror would just annoy the crap out of me (then again, I don't use my blinkers anyways... Oh well).

i can help with #14?. my trunk light was all messed up and the harness for the bulb was barley intact.. so i bough a small oval thing with 6 leds on it(from autozone) and hard wired it to the existing wires. and bam my trunk is lit up blue. or you could just buy the bulb that fits in that socket.. since idk what that thing is and you still have to buy a "light unit" whatever that is.
