Subject:      eyebrows (among other things)
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

got some of those chrome 'eyebrows' (for the round headlights) from roy rogers while getting new spark plug wires (old ones were..uh...bad...real bad..)...the eyebrows serve double-duty. (tripe if you thing of it right)

1. they look damn cool. and 2. they help to bounce some of the light downwards towards the ground, instead of aiming it all forward,having the headlights up so high keeps them from illuminationg the ground in front of you very well. the brows make the light work more the way i want it (as in shine more at the pavement in front of me) and 3. the front of the van gets illuminated in a rather nice sort of way because of the way the brows bounce the light downwards, the chrome bumper reflects some of this back up and gives the front sort of a unique glow... looks nice.. they stick inside the retaining ring,easy to install,just snap this metal lip inside the ring,

and it doesn't run like such crap now that i got the new wires..

also ,i've seen some alternative air intake systems, where can i get something with a nice fat pipe to let lots of air in, i noticed while removing the air cleaner that the little rectangle inside the top that lets air in is kinda small... anyone reccomend something nice and big? and where does one hook up teh mass airflow sensor in there wiht a replacement intake?
