Default 2004 V6 Mods...Need Answers/Suggestions

Hey folks, I have a 2004 V6, its solid black and pretty sweet. I had some ideas for aftermarket mods, first being the body. I really want to install some HID Lights, and I need to know a few things. First of all, is it possible to get either a GT or a Cobra Bumper to fit on the V6 body, and connect/use fog lights on my car? Second of all, if that is possible what is a good HID kit to go with? And if that is not possible what is a standard HID kit to use?

Second of all, I have been looking into cold air intakes, and I seem to only find a couple here and there. Which one would you all recommend?

Third, what are some fairly easy mods to do myself that can get some more power out of my car?

From there I am taking baby steps, but any input/feedback for a someone who is working on a car for the first time would be awesome! Thanks

Get a cold air intake from americanmuscle.com. its $80. dont spend too much on a CAI since they only give you small gains. I got mine from there and im happy with it.

a mod you can do is take the air silencer off your stock intake and put a KN air filter if you decide not to get a CAI. It will produce about the same gains as a CAI.

The 74 dollar cold air intake lists thats it only good up to the 2003 models, and I have a 2004. I'm guessing that wont work?

Just do the drop in K&N filter, it'll net you similar gains as a CAI would. A GT or Cobra bumper will fit on your car as long as it's a new edge GT or Cobra. As long as you buy the harnesses for the fog lights(which most do come with the lights), then it should work. Also, do you plan on getting single or dual HID beams?

ahh, you have an 04, yeah the one on AM wont work. Fobra is right, you can jus use a K&N filter but i would look for a cheap CAI. its def. a nice eye candy for under the hood.

The fogs are going to cost you another $250 ballpark. I would go with the smoked headlights that AM offers instead. Not a big fan of the halo headlights. Just my .02.
