thanks and yes
its more of a process of elimination

yellow-dont want to pay extra $500
black-dont want to see swirl marks
red-cop magnet especially in so cal
white-my dad thinks its a moving refrigirator-lol
silver-already have a silver nissan and my bro-in-law has a silver car too
platinum grahite-my second color choice if i had to pick another color

that leaves me with Monterey Blue!!!

bump for edit just installed stillen intake by myself took me about 2 1/2 hours or maybe more
it took a while because i dont have any power tools and everything was done by regular wrenches and by hand

cutting the core also took a while with a dremel
and i also took my time adjusting everything making sure there was no rubbing

other than that i would say i gave it about 7 out of 10 for difficulty
got some scrapes and cuts along the way too)
well worth the effortshe has a growl to her now
not a loud growl she defenitly rumbles
took her on a test drive and next thing you know my oil temp was at 250

no CEL/SES(we'll see again when i drive her more)

i did notice a hissing sound after i rev(is that the intake?)
she also started back firing a little, is that norm???

well anyways tomorrow i get my Berks HFC and Stillen exhaust installed
i cant wait
