Mine is kind of wasted.
PM me how much and a street address.
I'll see if I can afford it.

Jim I'm sorry, I honestly thought it was just the shadow. What happened to the original hood?

Yea, it's 87-91, if you look too quick it might look like a 97. Actually what did you use as a reference? The doors are the same 87-97. Mine is the 92-97 series, see below.

Petey or I could bring it back up to CT sometime. I'm usually down there once every month or so.

Thank you for your kind offer Greg.
And, THANK YOU Jim!

I wish I could find a hood for my wife's car. She's crashed it three times this year.
At least it has headlights now, and I pulled the radiator support off the fan.

Well, everything went easy until i had to take the muffler off the dual pipes... after 2 hours of fighting with that, i resorted to a 8lb sledge and a sawzall (had intentions of saving the old muffler). glad i stuck with it though, because this mbrp sounds AWESOME! exactly what i was looking for, not much louder but much much deeper and rumbles a whole lot more. and no highway drone.



heres a cell phone video that doesnt prove much
New 5.4 mbrp exhaust - YouTube

7" cutoff wheels and air chisels work wonders on exhaust systems.

So what's everyone's favorite ways of getting out of jury duty?

Can I walk in muttering racial slurs and get to go home?

If you have air at home I would suggest a angle die grinder MT2883 1/2 HP ANGLE DIE GRINDER | Matco Tools , it can do everything an angle grinder can do and more. I have two: one that has a Carbide Burr SF-5 Tree Shaped in it almost all of the time and the other I keep a PHP2 2" SANDING DISC HOLDER | Matco Tools which I use as a mini grinder. You can put in an arbor to turn it into a cut-off tool with HMANF15 ABRASIVE CUTTING DISK ARBOR | Matco Tools

I know somebody who used the racial slur method. It worked but almost had a little jail time.

As for me, never been called.

Dress like a mechanic and spill some diesel or gas on yourself, tell them you came from work (and you can't afford not to work) so this will be what you smell like if picked. For the most part those "office people" won't like it and pass on you so they don't have to deal with it. That's what a co-worked did
