No it's an '04 SXT... I modded the grill last summer myself... lotsa cutting, shims and fiberglass after that... then made the grill out of expanded steel. But over the winter I ran over a dead dear on the interstate and the bumper took a beating, so the mesh had to go... at the same time, I got ANOTHER $65 ticket for no front plate, so I just re-modded it quick and removed the mesh for good and re-surfaced my fiberglass work where the factory slats used to be... and covered it with flat black gorilla tape and no one is the wiser LOL... probably one of the more redneck things I've done to the car but I like the way it looks for me anyway, just something different to look at I guess... I think anyway. Just an opinion nonetheless.

Thanks, that's kinda what I was going for... I like the "more air" look but I didn't want to over-do it... that, and I was too broke to buy an aftermarket bumper so I was kinda limited with what I could do to mod the stock bumper instead without making it look like two sides of beef hanging under my hood.

Nah, had a 30-series flowmaster on it, but that got old (literally) so I changed it out with a 25" thrush glasspack + stainless tip. Stock piping from motor to muffler though. Got a few pics in my gallery to give you an idea... not specific pics, but enough to show what it was and is now.

OK. True but N3ON just likes to put things on his car that he doesn't need. You see in his sig he takes his car to a nice shady spot and sits there all day thinking of things to buy for his car that he doesn't need. LMAO!!!

I just had my brakes done a couple weeks ago. New pads, rotors, and new brake fluid. My original rotors had 60k on them, and they were not in great shape. That is odd that one pad was hardly worn though. Both sides were evenly worn down when they were changed. It stops crazy fast now......
