Just picked up my first (but have a feeling not my LAST) SHO last night and have some questions. Love the car..NOT the front air dam. What out there has been done? I saw a pic of a yellow SHO with a honda style aftermarket bumper cover but not sure if it was PS or not..was called the "Hulk" I believe. I like the rear and sides but the front lacks. I have the "power bulge" hood that I like but will swap out the whole front end or anything. I am open to all and any suggestions, tips, tricks, or pics..I dont mind being different or looking a bit out there, ANYTHING is better than my current front. Also, what have people been using for tails (I build imports..I like tails..sorry boink ) on their SHO's and does anyone have pics? I want to get pretty wild on this..kinda want to make my customers go WOW eek! when they see a FORD looking like a somewhat "ricer"..any help would be great. Thanks in advance!

I have heard you can use a font airdam (wings west, maybe? ) from a `94-96 Honda Accord Wagon. I don't have very much info on this, but If you are in the business, I'm sure you could do some minor mods to make it fit.

But I'll be interested to see what your sho turns out like - Good luck!

Also the front bumper on the white SHO is from a 1994-1997 Honda Accord wagon, the most that I see would need to get done is custom clips/hangers to hold the hood on, fitment looks good.

WOW eek! is the Yellow one REAL? Looks like a Mustang front/rear on it. I was looking through my catalogs today and my eyes kept falling on fronts for the Civic and Accord. The CRX also has a flat bumper overlay as it has flat line headlights like the SHO..so it got gears turning. I am half tempted to wait till a certain company comes out with an Evo bodykit this fall..it looks to be aggressive yet refined, a nice combo. Funny how I said to someone how I am putting an import exhaust can on it and they said "why make it a wannabe ricer?". Well..engine is by Yamaha, tranny by Mazda, electronics from Japan...seems fitting to me! shrug

Sounds nice..couldnt open the reving one..but did the one at the strip. I feel it will sound good..how was it for trips and did you notice that big of "seat of pants" power gain?

If you couldnt open it with Windows Media player then you need to download the codec for .WMA files.

You mean did I get any HP gains from just muffs? No not at all just a sound I liked more, now from the PP-y-pipe and cat-back I felt a crisper faster accel.

Dont expect crazy HP gains from our small displacement V6 compared to nice V8 which gain easy/high HP from exhaust work.

I like the yellow car, it could use a new paint job because I hate yellow cars. I would also change the rear bumper because it looks too out of place and get some side skirts made because it just looks wrong w/o them.
