    A few things came in the mail today.

    So I got "spider" style led's to have a neat look in the headlights. They will either look really cool or really tacky...



    My first license plate frame came in cracked so jdmego sent me another it came in today... And it was wedged in my mail box, luckily it was not broken.



    Also my sowo hype had me make a purchase the other night:

Source a t56 and clutch things, pedal, shift linkage and maybe a driveshaft then have it reprogrammed by a tuner shop should be pretty easy. If your auto things are good your trans and stuff should be worth something to offset the cost of the t56.

    A 4l60 with as many miles as mine is not worth much at all :/ I would love it though

First you need to jump wire the safe start so car is tricked to think that it's in P or N. Some ecus and on-board computers need to be reprogrammed. Cruise control needs switch for clutch pedal and that's about it.

    Thanks!!! I appreciate it. I posted the pictures of it on the CCW's on a GTO forum earlier this week... After being told to kill myself 15 times I was almost questioning the set up
