Stage 1 Ricer complete. Think I gained like 15 hp or thereabouts.

The wife says there's still too much chrome, so now I'm looking at different headlights. I got zero packages on this car and it looks like the halogens can be replaced with upgrades that better match the lighting package - adding the red stripe. Ooooo. Ahhhh.

Oh but the strip doesn't match my grill, so now were talking one of these.

I'm not actually sold on the black, but it's an easy swap so I'll drive with it for a bit and see how it manages. I have another thing on order that I'll wait to talk about once they're installed. That might help the black emblem seem more in line... who knows. I might do all this just to undo it. This is how this shit starts...

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
