I'd be pretty surprised if he has not gotten busted by the CHP for having them uncovered. I was told that I had to have all the aux lighting covers in place on my Toyota pickup or risk a ticket.

Do you not like having the rain cleared and having a better view of what's going on behind you?

Placed an order with Jan for an RMW Shorty header, RMW Tune, RMW injectors, and the Flash tool. Can't wait to see what kind of difference it makes!

Today i yanked the LS1 and T56 out of my camaro SS and tore the engine out of my mini and tomorrow i will start the swap...... the camaro will do nicely with a mini motor in it....

Kidding...... but really... changed the blinkers on the rear bumper fender flares and started researching upgraded roots blowers. they aren't terribly expensive...

Still trying to decide about a high power build, or a high fuel efficiency build with a goal of 150mpg maybe... (and 200hp) it can be done..... lol

Edit: im happy to say though, that my little r53 actually pulls away from my 400hp camaro... that's the honest truth. Had my buddy drive the mini when i had to take the camaro to the shop i work at.. we raced and the mini won up to 65mph from a stop light.
