I say #3 and my 10 year old says #4. Any of them will look sweet tho so you should surprise us. If you painting the whole thing you should grind off the third I and smooth it out with bondo or epoxy so it says series II that is unless you like it that way.

#2, man...White ties into the car, then secondary black, just like the wheels. With the littlest touch of red to hit off that SS badging....MMMMM..

Before you do the series 3 cover, did you make sure it fits? i tried one at a junkyard on a series 2 before i bought it and the brackets didnt line up.

Yeah but those headers are cheap knockoffs of the SLP Design I believe, and the fitment isn't always great, so they usually need professional installation to ensure you aren't leaking. So really, the price can be pretty high.

Also the rear bolts of the crossover are A HUGE PITA.
