Matt, they are very nice, I just wish this one is in a little better shape. I'm not exactly sure what plans I have with this car are but I will be driving it during the winter this year hopefully without to many major issues!
I'm a little worried about the engine temp gauge because it barely moved, it did get to halfway and then went back to about a 1/4 on the gauge? I'm just a little worried about that with the dexcool and the upper and lower intake gaskets being an issue with these years! I remember reading here though, if they aren't bad yet don't fix them until they are??

Chris, the temp gauge on my car stays about 1/3 up the gauge at its hottest while running and about 1/4 up the gauge during normal operating temperature. If you are worried about the dexcool, flush all of it out along with any crud that has built up and go with the green coolant. I flushed mine when I replaced my water pump.

hey Matt, thanks man, I will try and do that soon. I was just thinking it could be bad because my 06 goes to half way and doesn't move, that's why I figured it could be something serious. I appreciate your help....
I should have that tomorrow. then i can see what i got myself into 
I think i will fit it first then maybe next weekend try to give it a black paint job
edit: i think i have almost kicked this sickness. i was able to ride 20mi today after not riding almost all week...so i must be getting better

The CAI has been bought 3 times and sold twice already, it really gets around 
I originally bought it off member (myfirstbowtie) and now it will be yours tomorrow...
Zach, I told you and showed you the pics dude, it needs some TLC, that is why I stressed to you that I don't want this to turn into a bad thing....
