Hah
Is clearing you corners expensive? My dad says silicone is expensive 
Also I am planning on increasing my engines power since my 2.2L Ecotec lost to a '95 Mercury in a race =/
I plan on Adding a AAS body kit and maybe a spoiler with a new paint job.
Rims are the last I will probably upgrade.

law is probably any clearance. if it was 4", gr1m would be screwed. he's bagged. and yea, i just had my lights apart again this weekend. Silicone is about 5 bucks a tube and you don't quite use the whole tube. Clear corners is one of the cheapest (and in my opinion the best appearance) mods you can do.
so if you just got your licence, how old are you and when where u born? A few of us were just comparing to see who is the youngest in a different thread.
and i wouldn't talk about street racing stories on here (its a rule not too) or even about driving fast. I just got my head chopped off about that a little while ago.

One question about clearing corners. Do the lights have to be changed to a yellow bulb due to the directional signal on the side? Only thing i can see as being a hassel to find.
And damn thats young XD  |

yep if you want to be legal you have to put 194NA bulbs on the corners. You can get them at any autoparts store.

Thanks for hte part number. Yeah i guess im kinda young too but i could have had my license in february but my dad delayed it
Anyone ever tried converting a 2.2 to the 3.4? I doubt ill find a engine but would it be more costly to buy a 3.4 or improve my 2.2
