As for performance, I'm stuck. I'm really just wanting to buy an older v8 car and beat the crap out of it and get it to run 11s easy. And just using this car as a daily
if you want to use your v6 as a daily, I wouldn't spend too much money on making it look better. that's just me.

Looks like things might start getting heated again in the Vendor Review section

Be wary about the good reviews. They might have paid off the reviewers and faked the Google results

From above with a ratchet wrench...I unclipped the starter heat shield from below and was then able to push the wrench inbetween and got it that way. The hardest one was the one right behind the oil filter on the driver side.

@Lscamaro

Saw the auto source Zl1 bumper that guy had, from the pictures posted it looks pretty nice. not sure how its stronger than OEM. Haven't read their thread in awhile.

Anyways, very tempting.

The one thing I don't understand is the "we asked u to bring the car" excuse. If someone messes up my car, on what planet do they think I'll take my car to them again?

It really does. We will see what happens with the rest of the reviews.

Yup now we have very little entertainment. But on a side not has anyone done the 1LE separator on a V6? Curious to see what it looks like and how it hooks up. I personally haven't had any clean side oil but am considering it for a future mod.
