Indeed, lets. It looks really good there Jim. Black, black, and more black. Black chrome the internal headlight reflector and it would complete that font end quite well.

Depot used to make black housing headlights for my car and they stopped making them for some reason and now only make OEM replacements. I found some on ebay but I’m concerned about the quality…

Shorter, less bends, and lighter. Best performance you can get. I don’t really care about what it looks or sounds like, as long as it does it’s job!

I purchased a new Black 2004 SRT-4 when they came out, it ran great.

I loved the way it looked and performed stock. The only thing I had to change on it was to install a hex screw shifter knob, because the original “snap on” ball knob came flying off the first week I had the car. LOL

Looks very good.

Bet that side exit will get annoying when you go to LI again though 😉

LOL … Good Question!

I found it a pain doing the summer/winter wheel change thing, so I got an '06 Focus ST that was better suited for year round driving.

A year later though, I sorely missed the extra 100 hp so I looked around for a suitable replacement. By then SRT-4’s had been discontinued (I don’t trust buying used performance vehicles), and the only thing close to the SRT in power/$$/mpg was the Balt SC.

But the stock SC was still short about 40hp. GM Stage 2 took care of that, and now I run All-Season tires to avoid the seasonal wheel swap thing (it’s definitely a compromise though, not the best handling in Summer … not as good as snows in the Winter).

I still miss my SRT. The SRT’s exhaust had a “nasty” little sound to it that I have never heard duplicated on any SC (stock or aftermarket pipes).
