If you have to open it manually, it's aftermarket. That's only a bad thing if it leaks. A lot of the factory, electric sunroofs on these cars stop working, so in a way manual is better in that respect.

You should be able to get an aftermarket electric sunroof. I would not add any type of stick on hood scoop but you could get hood with a scoop built into it. I also agree with frank. Get some nice rims and tires possibly some 17'' or maybe even 18''

!f you want to get the most out of your 3400, check out what this member did (trewyn15) with his Monte and also see his member page.... I think he did the most work on a 3400 that I've seen on here(MCF).........

You can do quite a bit to the 3400 for quite a bit of a price also.

You can do ported intake manifolds and throttle body, along with cam heads and headers.

all of that will run you over $4,000 at least, so your best bet is with the 3800 like everyone else has said lol
