Finishing up winter mods

97stanger · Feb 2, 2012

What did/is everyone finishing up doing this winter for upcoming spring/summer shows/cruises? I havent even looked at my car in the past few months and the parts are starting to build up. Heres what I'm working with, and I really need to start getting this stuff done.

Swapping my Summit digital for Z series autometer gauges
Adding AEM Wideband gauge
my S281 spoiler got painted at body shop, need to pick that up and put it on
Swap my Vortech mini race valve for Mondo valve
lakewood safety loop I had sitting around
Roll rear quarter panel lips
smoked fogs/clear turn signal bulb

Still need to buy smoked cobra headlights...swapping them in for my angel eyes
and finally getting my meth tuned March 31 at Dez!

What all did you guys do or are you finishing up for these upcoming shows?

I'm looking at my bank account and sulking....

On the bright side I've had LOTS of free time to plan what I want to buy within the next few months.

I got my hood done before the cold hit. But I have waiting new bushings for control arms, and rack, SVE springs, Getting my saleens powder coated, s281 spoiler painted, new gauge bezel, tailpipes to be welded in, torque boxes to be welded in, solid motor mounts and I'm still going to order cobra fogs and subframe connectors. I think thats it. For now anyway

I drove my car last week, put the top up and everything (was still down from last time I drove it) other than that it is just sitting in the garage looking pretty

Can't wait to see what comes next of your car Mike! Been following it for a long time and still excited to see new mods to it! Keep up the good work!

BTW, Congrats on that magazine spotlight you got. I didn't get a chance to post it in the other thread you made.

I haven't done anything to mine yet cuz my bank account is screaming too,BUT, I do need to get a new head unit and amp to go with my 10" sub I got for Christmas. And tint my windows. And replace my damn windshield.

Oh yeah I forgot, I have a new pioneer HU coming in to replace my old one which is having flickering display issues

New one has USB, Ipod, OEL display, all the typical goodies
