Looks really nice. That is the spoiler I really like. Wheels look good too. How do like the supercharger? Which one do you have? I wouldn't mine putting one on my PT. I put one one Marauder last year and love it. Let me know how it holds up.

Well, after some extensive research, I went with the JR(Jackson Racing) supercharger. The reason being that it sounded MORE reliable. Whipple makes one and so does Ken Bell. But all have had their share of problems. the JR does not produce as much HP as the Whipple but it is easier to install and looks nice and stock when it's done. The only problem I had was that it had a misfire in 5th gear with the pedal to the floor. But after trying a few different things, I realized that the stock spark plugs would not handle the after market Superchager. I had to install the PT Turbo spark plugs. They run a little bit colder, so it took care of the misfire problem and now EVERYTHING is fine. Runs great, had it installed in late August and have had no other problems. Dyno said my car was at 220HP. That's about what the Turbo PT's put out. Plus I am running 18's on my front wheels. Dealership was very helpfull with the installation. I'll have to take some pictures of the engine bay soon. I want to ad a little more chrome first to brighten things up. Hope this helps.
