Just bought this.
My original upgrade plan:
1. Turbo Timer
2. AEM Short ram intake
3. Boomba BOV
4. FMIC
5. Engine trimmings (new valve cover, injector cover, trans cover, catch can, radiator hardpipe)
Then I got it. Forget those other items. Here's my new plan.
1. New radiator fan assembly. The fans worked, then they didn't, then they did, now they don't. So I can't drive it until this is fixed.
2. New struts. The previous owner had it lowered. With the lowering springs and struts on, but gapped so our 17 inch wheels would fit, we can't run over a small rock without our asses hurting from the bump we feel inside.
3. New bumper! When they replaced the last one they did it with a bumper from the wrong car! It inhibits airflow because of the design. Also because whoever put it on fucked up and left the foam over part of the vents. Fools.
4. New HVAC molding. The lighting is messed up in it.
From there I'll continue on with the normal list.

And once I get the new bumper and the engine fix-ups it will look similar to this, except for the blue intak manifold and punisher ram emblem.

GORGEOUS MY LOVE, GORGEOUS!!!

Replace the headers before the intake, those things look like shit. Then again, most stock headers do.

Nice very nice fuse. I guess i'll do like everyone else and post a pic of my new car in randomness

By the way, I'm trying to convince my wife to let me put on a front badge of the FA Angel. She's not so keen on the idea though because that means it's "my" car. Instead I might go for a sonic the hedgehog badge. :)
-
The other night I was in the pub with a few friends and all of a sudden I hear the sonic theme tune, I stood up so fast I went a little light headed..... I stalked the pub, trying to find the person who was playing it and in the end he let me have a go (it was on his mobile phone). Kind of sad that I recognised the theme song, eh? :P
-
Finally got the bumper. My SRT-4 finally looks like an SRT-4.

Just put a new front lip on it. The pass side needs a bit of work...

BUT IT'S STILL A FUCKIN' NEON.
<3 Fuse. :D
Gimme dimensions, color, and a mailing address and I'll get your FA sticker to you ASAP by week's end (or sooner).

I saw a great licence plate on an SRT that said "POS NEON". I think we've agreed on "NTARCER" for Not a Ricer... =)

Ell Oh Ell. :P
Saw an Acura RSX with a blond behind the wheel and a license plate that said "OMG PREP".

Well I can knock off the bumper, the HVAC surround, the BOV, AEM SRI, Catch Can, Trans Cover, and TT. Just spent a ton of time (and money) on these:
JMB Ultimate CAI with small battery kit
JMB Catch Can
JMB Trans Cover
CF Eyelids
Apexi TT
Took me like 6 hours total to do this with all the issues I had. Runs and looks nice though.
