I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

I'm digging the hood treatment of the graphics. Side exhaust has GOT to make getting in and out a pain though. ;)

I have never seen side pipes like that before. I can't tell if I like them, or if they're just unique.
