They're from a 97 park avenue rolleyes.gif prolly doesnt help you guys. i got them in a junk yard. if you really want to do this, expect to spend the majority of a saturday, fabricating brackets and making sure it closes right. I spent well over 8 hours on those things kindasad.gif it was worth it though.

Lookin' good! How long have you had them on and are they still shiny? I've heard that they change color after awhile because of the heat.

As ever, fantastic car.

You need to keep an eye on your radiator though..when they go brown like that it means that they are nearing the end of their life, it may well last for years, but still worth keeping an eye on for cracks etc.

again.....lovin the car.
man your car has allways been super clean! where did you get that header?

Yes they are still shiny for now. they started out chrome and I only drove it about 10 mins coming home and now they are gold. they arent going to look real good in a couple weeks but Ill have my header wrap by then so I dont really care.

Thanks, Im trying my best wink.gif I brought the header from kcizzle, a member

Koyo radiators are pretty much the best you can get..one day I`ll fit a Koyo to mine when I can afford one, expect to pay quite alot of money for one, but they are worth every penny/cent, but you`ll never need to buy another one baring any unforseen events. smile.gif
here's where I got my koyo:

it was the cheapest I could find, but they had had it on sale for only $300. to be honest, I noticed no difference, the engine still gets just as hot, maybe it cools down a little faster after being driven, but that's about it...

iirc, when your radiator gets to be more of a yellowish color, it will need to be replaced soon. somewhat like this.

yeah the header turns purpe-ish, and doesnt look bad at all.

the 1/4 doesnt have patience for a ST.... so we make them ST-T's so atleast we'll sound good going slow.
hey i noticed that your clock was a lot brighter and looks to be a different clor....did you do something to it or is it just from the picture or what??? just wondering

Actually I did do something, I cut a piece of clear plexi-glass and glued it into the place where the tinted piece of plastic is. them I used a purple notebook divider to turn the green clock light white. you can used what ever color you want.

if you noticed, i decided to not put in the triangular corner pieces in. I liked the look of just the three circles. I found a good use for them though wink.gif can you spot it?

your car looks sweet. you need to get your skirts and splitters back on though. other than that looks really good

Call me a traitor! See if I care. ;)
mr car handles great around corners, but arent gt sway bars thicker/stiffer than st's?? could be wrong but thats what i always thought

you know why they put sheep at the edge of a cliff.... that way they push back!(2:27:32 AM) edit: please f*cking work, f*ck, sh*t, piss(2:28:08 AM) edit: that did the trick
