Hubcaps? Yeah, I wouldn't have bought a Lumina if it weren't an LTZ. Those wheels are standard on it. Not too mch of a chevy guy. I did consider SHOs. I fact, when I got my Escort I very nearly bought one instead of the Escort. When they first came out in 89 I really lusted after them. But V6 SHOs are too old for me to get, and the V8 SHOs are too hard to maintain, though I like them alot. This 3.8 is pretty bulletproof. I'm not adding a blower, but I am doing intake and exhaust, and stiffening the ride. And you're right it does seem to get going pretty smartly without any effort.
