He's the same guy that really badly wanted to do an SRT engine swap. Nothing wrong with dreaming though.

Fubar, rather than rip your N/A stuff off your own car (I know that's what you are thinking of doing because you're crazy like that
), find someone with a white N/A that wants to do a conversion and swap parts. You'd have the upper hand so you could ask him for a fee, like $1500 or more to make the trade. That will add some cash for your paint job, and then you sell your N/A as-is without a hack job and you don't have to spend money repainting the old SRT parts white. You'd end up with at least $2000 USD saved toward your paint job.
Or just put NOS in your N/A for $500 and feel like an SRT6, but still look like an N/A.
I put NOS in my Viper so I feel like an SRT10, but look like an... RT/10
haha FUBAR.. thanks,. call me the troll instead. less impolite..
anyways,
yes I want to paint it white. I have a donor car at the junkyard, just talked to him to see if there is a n/a wing to be bought. But hey, I thought NOS is bad for your car...I believe it is better just to buy a SRT6 in the states, repaint it white (I have got better price than you have stated) and alter the rear wing and switch the rims.
I like everything with the SRT except for the rearwing, alloys and frontlip and the seats. In short, look like my white n/a and fly like the SRT. I feel to old to be driving a car with a large rear wing. (all this talk about it has made me to like it more though..) In my country the car showing off the rearwing is quite geeky... like a car that runs slow need to have a wing in order to look fast. nicer to have an "erecting" wing. plus the ladies loves it.
