WRX
Hi, my name is ImportTuner and I am addicted to Imprezas. As if you could ever get enough of them. New from Chargespeed are two complete aero packages for the 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX. For those that just want to add a little something extra to the factory bumpers there is a complete lip kit available. For those that want a little more, there are complete front and rear bumper replacements. The larger openings on the front bumper allow for increased airflow into the engine. To complete these two aero packages you can add on vented front fenders, a carbon-fiber hood and a carbon-fiber rear trunk. Chargespeed products are made in Japan with high quality hand laid fiberglass to ensure the best fitment.

Craftsman Creeper/Seat
So you're working on your car and you need to roll out from under it to get the phone or grab your Red Bull. Wouldn't it be nice if your creeper had some kind of button you could push that would turn it into a shop chair? Yeah, well this one does. The Craftsman 40-in Creeper quickly converts to a seat with a quick-releasing clip. The creeper/seat is fully padded with heavy-duty vinyl. When used in the seated position, the 7x10-in padded headrest provides excellent back support. All five 2 1/2-in oil-resistant rollers make contact with the ground in either position to provide superior stability. The creeper's tubular frame has a rust-resistant, powder-coated finish. The combo creeper has a 400-lb load capacity. When not in use, the 20 lb creeper can be easily stored. This creeper is expected to be available in March 2004 at Sears and on www.sears.com/craftsman.
Accord Kit
Do you own an Accord? Yeah well, we'll laugh at you later. The 2003/2004 Accord presented a unique problem for tuners: The audio system and climate controls are operated through a single command center. If someone planned to replace the factory head unit with an aftermarket model, the air conditioner and heating systems would be disabled. Turbo2 (model #99-7864) solves this problem by providing a complete plug-and-play aftermarket radio installation kit with full electronics, rather than a simple faceplate. Cosmetics, contours, and controls are identical to the factory-installed versions, as are the fan and temperature control switches. With backlit vent control buttons featuring indicator LEDs, the user will have full control of all of the functions that are provided by the factory. Metra Electronics' Turbo2 is available nationwide through autosound and automotive specialists. Give Adam Sohmer a call at 718-499-9161.
