Haha someone did all the work for the 99-00 front end.
Before you do the swap list your ex trans on CL, there is always someone wanting those as they have the best ratio's for acceleration. I found my 95 VX trans in CL for $40, people just flat out don't want the DX CX/VX trans so you should be able to find one for cheap.
I got the torque app for my phone for $5 and a bluetooth ODB2 reader from Ebay for 9. They work great. I still want to get an ultra or scan gauge but can't really justify the costs, though I installed torque and got an extra 4 mpg's last tank
SO these will eventually pay for themselves, but the 169 scan gauge will take awhile lol.
I got the SiR lip, was looking at the same lip you have. I was thinking at the time, would taping off the 'vents' help?
