I thought your dad and you had conflicting ideas when it came to such thing as intakes,but yeah it only takes about 20mins to install the intake. If you don't want to go this route you can do the intake box mod or the dropin filter.p.s. I will try to have that muffler and tip to you by thurs or fri.

How much did the bulbs cost you? I like their look. Keep up representing the 05LT/LTZ's!

I just took another look at your car and maybe you should paint the plastic part of the grill and the foglight housings black. I plan on doing this and I think itd make the front end much nicer.

LOL, awesome... if you find out how to get those grills out could you post some pictures or an explanation? I was just poking around under my hood and I just can't see to find a way to get them out without removing the entire front end which would be a bit of a hassle for just a small paint job.
