Silver's a great color for striping. Don't know if you checked my pix thread out (it's in my signature). Granted, I sure you don't want Perplexed Pink racing stripes! but with silver, most any color is possible.
I had a licensed Upsolute tech do my chip. Sonny was awesome! If you goggle Upsolute you should be able to find a fairly local tech to do it in under an hour.
My husband Joe and I did my intake in about 45 minutes. Mine's from Freedom Design, not as expensive as Neuspeed. Very, very cool! Both this and the chip will give you that "umph" you're hankerin' for
. I haven't put Hermione (2003 Turbo S) on a dyno but I think I'm about 220 HP at the engine. I'd rather sink that dyno $$$ into the car itself.
