Not worth the hassle and it was before the Lambo Doors mod too off. Been looking at the regal pics and there are way more intakes out there. One even has it's own coolant bottle setup next to the clear airbox. I'm pretty sure it's gonna cost $200+ so i'll just stick with Home Depot and paint.

It sucks how there's so little aftermarket support for the 3100, and 90% of it is for the N body cars like the Grand AM and the Malibu.

Is there any way you can make a bracket for your coolant bottle, to move it where you need it?

I might try the tower again in the summer. I want to figure out a way w/o cutting and melting it to fit. Whatever that meant in the w body community. It frees me up to way more options.

have you looked into anything from other 2nd gen w-bodies, like the Intrigue? I know it has the 3.5, but it might have a better coolant bottle/setup that might fit the century with little to no modification..

The air boxes change up location for most but coolant is in same general area till 99 or so. I wish the weather was letting me go out and take pics of all the setups in the J yard to compare.

Each Letter and the spacing inside the recessed area. Do not lay on top of old chrome letters for this reason.

Wow. They look like they fit so much better than mine. Were you as lucky as me getting the chrome letters out?

They shattered when trying to pry. The bumper looks like the original owner backed into something at low speed so that may have contributed to that. The 2 sided foam was my hangup but I had alcohol to clean it up.

That's good. My biggest problem was that foam too. How do they look at night?
