Pictures:
1. Mike in AZ replacement fan, made in U.S., three time more CFM and 1/2 the price of OEM Fan,which you can not get anymore.
2. Frame Stiffener/powder-coated. Improve handling, Tire wear, take out squeaks, shakes and rattles.
3. 03/04 Hood Strut replacement. Get rid of the single "noodle bar" and install gas hood struts.
4. STEEL Radiator Support! The one MOST IMPORTANT thing you can do (in my opinion) is replace the Factory OEM PLASTIC radiator support with a STEEL powder coated one. Improve safety in case you run over any highway Debris, improves tire wear, takes shake out of steering wheel.
5. The infamous Shift Cable Repair. Factory OEM holds your shift cable on with neoprene bushing, which is about 3" from Catalytic Converter, running at 1800 degrees. Neoprene cooks, crumbles and falls OFF. This replacement is S/S and secured with lock nut. Much less than a tow, parts, labor cost at a Dealer, who replaces it with same problem.
1. Stainless Air Dams. Polished/brushed 3 models. Always run an air dam, sucks hot air out of engine compartment while moving.
2. Ignition Switch. Chance to upgrade or replace ignition switch. Should carry spare, more important than spare tire.
3. Muth Directional Mirrors. Excellent addition to any R.
4. Mole Skin. If you tint windows, you should add mole skin to prevent "scratching" from the hard window seals.
5. Soundproofing. Good for road noise and insulation from heat in the summer. Also do roof compartment. I do roof vents on the 03/04 & early 05 for FREE!
