you have to make the anniversary edition style headlights yourself. people basically open them up and use black spray paint. there's a good write up somewhere, if i find it, i'll send it your way, or someone else can chime in. other than that, you can buy those black headlight covers. i don't know where to get those, i'd check jcwhitney and just search around online, but i wouldn't really recomend those.


cattman makes headers but i understand they're pricey to install. http://www.cattman.com/

get yourself a y-pipe and forget about the catback if you're looking for power. get a y-pipe first, then do catback later if you're looking for more sound. check out www.budgetexhaust.com


goodluck and try the spell check feature, some people on here will jump all over that cuz they have nothing better to do.

yeah headers and catback are not necesary. Headers too expensive for the hp they give you, and catback doesn't give you anything except sound and 1-3hp. Since you got a 96 I would recomend buying some 97+ headlights and open them out and spray them. 95-96 don't look good (okay for cheap budget)...

Budget y-pipe, 97+ headlights and smoke them

yea they don't look good at all, maybe on a black max, but i don't like them, i got my ae headlight done, it was easy just stick them in the over to about 200 f for about 200 minutes and then u can just pry them apart easier.

for those who are "Do it yourself" challanged and still want the AE headlight look makotoautotrends.com sells them for $189.99. (i have checked the site,and they dont advertise them, but in the ads in Super Street(Feb. 2004 p.135) claims they do sell them.) but they are highly overpriced compared to just buying a can of high-temp paint and doing it yourself.
