I am new to this site and have a few q's.

When I see a list of mods some say weatherstrip, what are they talking about?
What are some good mods to start with on my 2003.5MSP?

welcome to the forum!

i too; am quite a new member, as you can see. all your questions will be answered here. BUT, people get grumpy if you don't do a search to find what you're looking for. you will find tons of mod info if you look around.

the weather stripping is refering to the strip that is parallel to and closest to the windshield. the msp's are notorious for getting really hot under the hood and removing this stripping helps let some of that warm air escape.

weatherstripping-
There's rubber weatherstripping around the inside of your hood. Some MSPs remove those to help get more air into the engine bay, cooling it a bit more. Some MSP owners have claimed that their engines get pretty hot.
