ahem...you guys seem to be really into your sols and the enthusiasm is contagious...here are a couple of questions i had after doing some research in the archives...any advice would be awesome-i'm ready to trasform this little gem...
- basic mods: i figured i'd put an AEM cold air intake first off, or maybe just a cheaper CAI that i can dig up on ebay...what would you guys recommend? also any specific advice on exhaust and headers...
- exterior: i...want...angrysol's...blue...paint job...must haaave....
how much should i expect to pay for a really well-done paint job?
- security: should i get an alarm...or comprehensive insurance?
- motor swap: what'd'you think about sticking a B18 where the D16 used to be...assuming i sell/trade-in the old motor how much should i expect to pay for everything w/install (at a reputable mechanic of course)
hope that wasn't overkill, i'm just gettin excited at the prospect of putting some juice in this car...any advice would be awesome (does not have to relate to above questions)
thanks guys

WASTE money on, say, a DC SS header, that you'll eventually
have to DUMP on the open market. My advice: get your MAX
motor upgrade/w turbo upgrade; a B-18C1? Never went the
"hybrid route", unfortunately, so I couldn't say "for sure", but
buying parts "limits" you to that engine/setup, so plan ahead.
Unless you like selling parts for cheap
