Possibly a different hood? I kinda want a cowl but then again I have never seen a hood like mine.

I also want to possibly change the front bumper to a lightning or possibly a harley style. Not sure about that either because I haven't seen anyone with a bumper like mine

I also want to add some kind of side skirts or something. I am not a fan of my side steps and when I took them off it looked way to high.
As for the rear bumper I think I am goning to add a white painted one this week and keep the upper bumper pad black

As for my motor I am going to weld all my visible pipes and in the next few weeks ill probably rip apart my SC and changed all the bearings. I already got the bearings and I just bought a bearing slid hammer so it should go quick. I am also going to switch to SCT and retune on the dyno. Joy!

I kinda like the looks of your expy as is! Like you said it is unique. I have seen no others like it.

I would swap your blower for a novi 2000 or something that you could really crank up the boost!! :evillol: Of course you may want to throw some better rods in her first.

I like the novi idea! I have been looking at other blowers too. I think that change is in the future. I may buy the billet impeller this month too but not sure yet because its 475$ and I am not so sure if the gains would be worth it.

I like the hood you have. What about two toning it to highlight the scoops?

I thought about that too. It is all carbon fiber now and was thinking about taking gloss white vinyl wrap and wrapping around the sides and front pretty much leaving the middle still black CF and the rest white. Its hard to explain but I think it would look good.

I like the hood you have. Except, I would color match it. I have never been a fan of the ricer black hood thing though.... Some racing stripes would make it pretty unique.
As far as your front bumper, the chrome lower valance is cool as hell! Wouldn't mind having one for my '98.
Besides painting the hood, I personally wouldn't change much (if anything) on the exterior.

I know what you're saying. That's what I was thinking actually. Although with paint.
