    Does anybody else see this thread leading to more ricers in GPs than we already have?

    I made gutter guard grills for my first grand prix... It took under $10 in gutter guard and a couple zipties. I used snips to trim the gutter guard and cut the hell outta my hands so wear gloves if you're going to attempt this.

    Doesn't an EGR delete require a tune? So... $150, at the cheapest?
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.

    You don't have to do a tune for egr delete as long as you can live with the CEL.

    LED interior lights for the floor board ~$25 to do the whole interior and a switch. Parts can be acquired at autozone/walmart...

    Does that pass emissions in most states?

    My state doesn't have emissions, so I don't know.

    If you know someone with DHP, they could remove the code for you for free, and you should be good to go.
