Re: TPI Dress Up

8996: Wow, that's really nice. In my subjective opinion, it's close to perfect. Because you don't have A/C, I would convert the front accessories to the 1987 style with the alternator on the right.

Re: TPI Dress Up

Let me fill you in. For most enthusiasts, performance matters but it's most likely not be the only consideration. Ferarri designs engines for performance and for good looks. Rarely does good looks ever get any consideration in anything less, but there's no doubt the TPI was designed for torque, AND for good looks.

I have 2 cars in my garage, an LS1 Trans Am and a GTA. Of course we know which one is the better performer by a large margin, but when they are parked I always keep the hood of the GTA open because those TPI pipes are just so lovely to behold.
