reverse

Personally I like reverse. Matches a blue led switch better. When you look on ebay put a space between 4 and runner.

Pretty sure unless you just like the looks intakes are a waste of $$$. Gadget did a comparison, and an amsoil filter with a deckplate or elbow gone was better than a K&N tube/ cone

And something to note is that the gauges will have a prnd21 on the dials. Not a big deal, just something to be aware of

Probably get a deckplate on ebay. Rather than do that, its easier to just take out the tube on the side of your airbox. Looking from the front, it's on the left side and it runs into the fender. Here is how to do it. Takes 5-10 minutes.

Though I just took out the part that bends and left the rest of the stuff up in there in case I want to put it back in later. If you are going to supercharge I think its best not to mess with it.
As for the amsoil, there are a couple guys on here that sell them. I think they are like 40-50 bucks, but when you consider it's reusable it saves money over a year or two.

Just got my euro gauges from procarparts.com.

Nice gauges, but:

-PRND is on the tach, and my 97 doesn't have that, so they are forever dark
-Bottom row of indicators is out of sequence, so I left it out (what's with that??)
-Left hand gauge (temp) was too high, so I trimmed a bit off the bottom and taped in place
-I don't like the "halo" on the inner circles at night, or the blue numbers in the daylight, but I expected that (wish I had gotten the regular gauges now)

Also get 3 blue 194 bulbs to replace the green condom bulbs at the same time. (You're going to hate the greens with the indies)

My 2 cents

I got my gauges for the same place for like $40 a year ago. I had to walow out he gauge hole but other than that, they are fantastic. They make me smile every time I look at em, especilay at night. Check out page six of my home page (in sig) for a few pictures of the install:

You can get a deckplate for around $10 at most boat shops. Just call around. It took me three calls. Shipping could cost you more.

The brown bread did help. The doors now have a real solid sound and feel when I close them. Resonance from the speakers is improved. Road sound was reduced. I am currently planning to do the entire interior like Bob_98RS did. I've been researching to see if there are better materials.

FYI, It took about 3/4 of a day to do the doors. It was a fairly easy task.

I was considering getting some second skin stuff since there is a decent discount plus free shipping for yotatech people.
