Sorry for all the post. I keep forgetting things.

While i was working on the car earlier i was trying to take off the GM Spotter mirrors. They were in really bad shape and flaking/cracking. I heated up around the mirror to soften the 3M tape and while pulling I ended up breaking the drivers side mirror glass

No one had any replacements in stock around town so I ordered two new ones from eBay. Hopefully that won't be to hard to change.

ok everyone want to ask again since I didn't get much of a reply.

After thinking a bit on what I want to do here is what i'm aiming for.

I'm thinking I want to do the Flowmaster Shorty Exhaust, The Forged BPV and then the braces and Motor Mount. Should I be safe doing these along with the trifecta budget tune? Is there anything that just would be a big benefit of upgrading further? I'm not looking for top numbers but I think those few would give me a nice sound and some more boost.

Also my new side mirrors and my billet bowtie should be here Friday :)

What braces are you talking about? I'm guessing that you are refering to an engine compartment strut tower brace?

If so. I recall a thread from way back that said that type brace doesn't really do much on these cars. Pretty much over kill unless you're putting out some serious torque numbers or maybe doing some track time.

it came with a front sway bar, so you'll only need to order up a rear sway bar! TTR or Powell seem popular

Hmmm. Never heard the swaybar called a brace before.

Decided to ditch the double bowtie and since i named the SS after Sulley from Monsters Inc I decided to make a new plate and also did up a key chain for myself

That will be a "one of a kind" SS plate.

No plate on mine. Never had the holders put in.
