MTs#1Customer, wow, thanks a lot. That was just the response i was hoping for. Does the chin spoiler make it look that much better? I dont know, i havent seen one, but ive heard about them. I'll probably get the shifter, thank you. What about underdrive pulleys and gears?
whats the difference between the two, and what are the effects of installing them on the car?
Thanks everyone for helping me out, im ignorant about ponycars righ tnow, but hopefully i'll learn.

The combo of the chin spoiler an the grill delete will make the car look like a MACH 1 from the front, but not completely becaus eyou won't have the shaker hood. They loook really nice on a red car as already mentioned. Waring: I think they loose their appeal on a lowered car. The tend to scrape and do not look as good.
here the lowdown on the mods (brief version):
Shifter: A shifter like a Steeda Tri-Ax makes the shifting much more precise and rigid. The stock shifter is sloppy because rubber bushings are used. The Tri-Ax will make you shifts "click". Also, for racing it is great because the throws are shorter and it has "stops" so you can not over extend shifting and brake a shift-fork. It is a really good mod which should be done on every 5 speed whether you race or not. It takes about 2 hours to install if you have never done one before, reasonably mechanical, and have everything you need. 45 minutes if your good.
Underdrive Pullies: These pullies replace your existing pullies. Pullies are used to run you accesories. UDP's have less rotational mass and slow down things like the alternator and power steering. They "free up" extra hp. The gains are 5 - 10 rwhp and have virtually no side effects. Keep in mind, they do not add hp to the motor, but they add hp to the rear wheels.
Gears: Read this thread that I wrote. It should explain everything you need to know about them.
