Matt,

You might want to fire up the "advanced search" function and do a little digging.

Downside is you don't like your search results, you've got to wait about a minute to search again.

- Not sure about the top. Still sitting in my garage in the original bag that it came in.

- Link regarding the rear-end. According to the thread, the change occurred at around chassis number 2068.

Superformance rear end

- Injection vs. carb. Probably a combination of cost and authenticity. Some people want the look of Webers without the hassle of jetting and tweaking. Different performance characteristics, etc. Carb is pretty basic and easy to swap, tune, and fix.

- Wheel size. 15's - I like the original look. Other sizes really open up your tire options.

- Regarding getting burned by a side pipe. I have never been burned nor have any of my passengers been burned getting out of my car. That being said, I've burned my ankle twice opening the hood after driving. Both times I had shorts on...nice scar. If this is a concern (i.e. my wife, kid, dog might get burned) you can always find/buy a car with under-car exhaust. Count on someone getting burned. It's going to happen.
