its illegal?!?!? thats retarded...i wonder why they would make it illegal?
California emissions are the strictest in the world. Anything that is not factory installed is illegal here.

That is what my smog test guy tells me.

He can fail me for almost anything he wants. The California Vehicle Code is over 600 pages long.

that is pretty gay but when my brother got his hood on his 2000 monte he said there wasnt any difference that he could tell... but one thing on the plus side of the hood i love driving his car cuz it makes the front end look so much more aggresive from the drivers seat.

Maybe it needs to be chipped to boost the fuel delivery to match the air delivery.

Cold air is one thing. Ram air is another.

Ram air only works if the car is moving. (ram air = car moving)

With all the votes for the hood just remember my post. You can't get any additional ponies to the pavement then you wasted your $$$$$.

You guys and gals are not making it easy on me i was thinking headlights because of the car show season but then DHP because of the summer cruises every friday A.K.A. street raceing

but the hood could be for function and style/ looks

and as rj said what is the point of power if it cant get to the ground

and i have been wanting a new spoiler for a while

I am so confused

so with all this said all donationsare now beingacceptedby 2000_BLACK_SS A.K.A. Me
