You are correct, it was a 96. Last year for the square taillights, good catch.

The Spectre intake wasn't exactly a "direct fit" It was a bit high and put a nice little ding in my hood. I cut down the coupler that joins it to the intake and we'll be good once I get the ding out of the hood.

The PlastiDip turned out to be a bit of a disaster. Washed and prepped the trunk, open the cans and find out its the wrong color! I wanted Monster Green which is neon, I got camo green. Called them up, order corrected, they said keep the camo. Everything was ready so I layer down some more masking tape, changed the color scheme and played with the camo green.
