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?

 

[Explicit_Spade]

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?

 

[Explicit_Spade]

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.
