One of the employees used to work for 50Resto and they put a new front spoiler on at no charge for me.

Next to do this year are shocks / struts, complete brake job with new rotors, replace serpentine belt along with tuneup and fuel filter. In the fall I'll do oil change and coolant flush.

I got a "hotwheels logo" badge (from a 2013 Camaro Special Edition) and I'm trying to decide where to put it.
Well I did the Bilstein HD shocks / struts / quad shocks along with an alignment in October.

Today I did the complete brake job with new rotors. https://lmr.com/item/LRS-1125C-K/Mus...otor-Kit-94-04 I went with the Motorcraft pads as about all I do is go to car shows.

In January I'll get the "tuneup" done and coolant flush. After 15 years and 83K miles I guess that I'm good for awhile. It is amazing that the car runs 100% better than before. You don't realize how bad the ride is until you put on new parts.
