i'm sorry if some of these questions sound stupid, but please help me out if you can! thanks!<P>first, i noticed some people have grills on the bottom of their front bumper here... <A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/mistahmoogle/bottomgrill.jpg" TARGET=_blank>http://www.geocities.com/mistahmoogle/b ... ill.jpg</A> how would you do that? would you need to buy a special material from a car store or just go to like a hardware store? also for the grill right above the bumper... <A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/mistahmoogle/topgrill.jpg" TARGET=_blank>http://www.geocities.com/mistahmoogle/topgrill.jpg</A> can you take it out and paint it? how would you do that? any special paint or considerations? any help appreciated!<P>second, i heard of people making their taillights all red except for the reverse lights. in other words, making the signal lights red instead of amber. <A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/mistahmoogle/taillights.jpg" TARGET=_blank>http://www.geocities.com/mistahmoogle/taillights.jpg</A> any way to do that at home or would i have to get it customized somewhere?<P>also, when my brother got my intake installed <A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/mistahmoogle/intake.jpg" TARGET=_blank>http://www.geocities.com/mistahmoogle/intake.jpg</A> (it's a weapon-r with a K&N filter, custom fit for my '95 mx-3 DOHC I-4), he had a breather installed with it. the car then would die when started unless you left your foot on the gas and let it warm up for a few minutes. i took it to a shop and they removed the breather and it worked fine again. do you think that the shop installed my breather wrong? how would i install it correctly if it was a poor installation?<P>i bought my car used, and it had all these clips on the driver's side under the hood. <A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/mistahmoogle/clips.jpg" TARGET=_blank>http://www.geocities.com/mistahmoogle/clips.jpg</A> are they of any use? can i remove them? sorry, i have no idea what they could be used for, especially the ones on the right two.<P>lastly, i have a mazdaspeed shiftknob <A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/mistahmoogle/shiftknob.jpg" TARGET=_blank>http://www.geocities.com/mistahmoogle/shiftknob.jpg</A> and was planning to get a shortshifter. i don't know much about them, but i can keep my shiftknob and use it with the shortshifter, right? just trying to make sure.<P>sorry for the long post! hope the pics helped if you had trouble understanding what i was talking about and thanks in advance for any help!
