I was relocated to Fort Worth for 5 months while me and the Family waited for the Re-Opening of (GHETTO) New Orleans.
But Fort Worth is a Beatiful City, 5 months of paid vacation.

Definitely a good start indeed. Its always fun to buy a completely stock car and build it from the ground up! Good luck with it.

car is looking a lot better man. what do you think about that NRG engine dampner?

my suggestions for things to do next would be a new intake (with an air filter), rims/tires, wire tuck the engine bay, or get a front lip.

I like The NRG Damper i think it does work and it was well worth my money.

currently im looking for a cold air AEM intake to purchase on Ebay,
Rims and tires will be here once my bro 17's come off his car and i trade them in to anyone for a set of 15's
ill probadly do a wire tuck this weekend with a good cleaning of that dirty Engine.

thanks for the feedback.
