All I know is that DRL's allow me to see cars sooner than later - in any environmental condition. I much prefer to see your "spiffy brighter" headlights than none at all.
Sure that'd be no problem! I sent you the instructions and a picture of the Fenderwell Intake. I'm sure you have a ton of email to sift through. I have an updated version I'd like to send you that's a little clearer, so let me know when you want me to send it to you!
Also-- my BMR Sway Bars came in this afternoon, so I'll be putting them on in the next couple of days. I'll try to create a How-To or at least, I'll have a before and after opinion. I expect a drastic improvement after what I've heard about them!
My other mods should be done within a month or two, so I'll let you know about those then. I might be getting the downpipe/cat/ubend in the next week or so, so I'll let you know about them too.
Write me an email when you're not busy, letting me know what you'd like, and when you want me to send you the updated FWI instructions. Thanks!
That would be cool.
It would be great if there was one web site that had Impala how to articles, reviews, and a great message forum. I know there are all of these scattered resources all over the place but it would be nice to have it all in one dedicated site.

But seriously I was looking at my car (its black) and I was thinking that it would look great with chrome along the sides like I see on some other cars. Has anyone done any good looking exterior mods woth chrome?
I'm gonna get the carbon fiber bow tie on ebay:

That looks so muvh better then the blue.
BTW I posted pics of my Impala in the Photo Gallery if anyone wants to see. It's a totally stock 2002 black LS Sport.
Would anybody who lives in the Michigan/Illinois area be willing to let Digital Horsepower Performance take a look at your PCM (computer) for a couple hours so they can develop a DHP PCM for our Impalas?? It would really help us all out if you would volunteer. I would but I live in Louisiana.. Thanks for anyone who can help!

How was the install of the downpipe?
Also I was wondering - how difficult was the thermostat install?
Install was not HARD, but it's very freakin' tight in there. It's a very SIMPLE install, but it's really really hard to do without a lift since that DP is up in a little crease/corner/crevease. It's just 4 bolts total.
IF you do do yours for performance HP mods, the DP/Cat/Ubend is the most restrictive part definately. The Cat-Back is NOT restrictive at all, so don't worry about it. But it will give you the sound if that's what you're after.
I might go to San Antonio for the Alamo Shootout this February, if no one is able to volunteer their car before then. That was I can get a CUSTOM!!! DHP calibration! WooHoo!!
Thermostat install is easy as can be, and I DO suggest it. Make sure you have a long extended socket set, not just the small sockets, and you'll be fine! Good Luck! Let me know if you have any more questions...
Thx. Peace.

GM Part numbers 88956008, 88956009, and 88956010 (paint to match)
Any info would be appreciated!
Man you got a great deal. I asked my chevy dealer and they quoted me a price of over 600 dollars just for the 3 parts! Thats why I was wondering if anyone had experience with NAISSO. I will check with GM Parts Direct and see what their price is too.
Thanks!
But I'd like opinions from someone who has already got some..
Their website has a picture or video instructions, and they go on much more effortlessly than it at first seems they will.
I installed then on a very cool evening, rather than a warm day, and once in, it wasn't 'til over night that they properly set in.
They work as advertised in my opinion.

Thanks for the input. I ordered the WeatherTech shades (and some mats since I needed them anyway) and got them yesterday. But it was raining so I installed the vent shades today.
You're right, they're very easy to install and seem to fit quite well. I'll leave the windows shut for a few days and see how well they settle into place.
as far as the odometer goes, with the strick laws and stuff I kind of think they must have to have some better control than to let anyone with a tech-II change the reading.
do you have an LS-Sport Cluster? how are things going with that?
on another topic, does anyone know the part numbers for the LS-Sport License Plate Cover and the front little deal that hangs down.. i think they call it the facia or something.??
Anyone know when the ZZP intake will be available?
