few questions onr esource and options
 

I'm looking into getting an S model and would like to find the following

how come some cars have a silver "rim" over the part of the engine on the right side that looks like an intake of some sort?


if the car doesnt come with can you tell me where to find:

motor sound package
litronic head lights
rear wiper
other accessories I should consider?

other considerations?

there are many low mil. S models that are tipronic for low prices, would it be worth it to change a tip to a manual?

thanks!!!! loving the fourm! you all have a fantastic sense of humor :)

-Chrome intake horn is indicative of the Motorsound intake cover.
-Motorsound is simply the MS intake cover and a MS muffler. Cover can be purchased new for ~$85 and MS mufflers used for ~$300. Or, you can do an LPMM on the stock mufflers for <$100. (Do a search on LPMM.)
-Numerous sources for litronics (big $$) as well as less expensive alternatives.
-Unless the car is going to be a DD, don't worry about getting a rear wiper. Adding a rear wiper will require a new rear window.
-Highly impractical to change a tip to a manual.
