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.

Welding cable is in. Time to rewire the battery cables and run new ones for the second battery.

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.
