I have a few plans for 2008.

#1 priority is to get the suspension worked. Struts, springs, and swaybar.
#2 get tires for my wheels and get them installed.
#3 work on the front bumper, grill and headlights.
#4 Port and polish I/M and BBTB.
#5 Tint the window for the love of jeebus.
#6 Do some touch-up painting and wet sand/clearcoat again.
#7 Get my exhaust reworked with header and catback.
#8 Would like to go forced induction this year but I think I'm gonna piece either a turbo or supercharged set up throughout the year and wait til next spring.
I also have a few projects in the works right now and hopefully should be completed by the end of spring into summer.

#1 priority is to finish my interior; get new front and back seats
#2 is to get some h&r sport springs to get it lowered
#3 is to get an AEM CAI, 4-2-1 headers, and whole exhaust system
Hopefully I could get that done this year. Thats my goal at least.

Future mods?

- Change oil every 5k
- Inflate tires
- And if I feel really crazy, dress the tires with tire shine

I have a bunch of suspension waiting for the warm weather and a CAI. I would also like an Ark short shifter as well as start on some exterior body modifications.

I've got kyb's and oem springs in the garage, as well as a tib sway bar, that's about it for me, and thats just maintenance. Apart from that, I'm right there with Felix on the modding plans for the year.

Nothing for me. I don't have any money to set aside for mods.

With that said, I'll probably go to the junkyard in a couple months when it's warmer and see if I can get some more gray interior pieces for my color swap.

So far this year I have put in an air intake kit and a ground wire kit.

Both made a slight difference to how the car runs. The air intake gave it a bit more torque. The ground kit has also helped a bit... most noticale was that it eliminated the head-light dimming that I used to get when my A/C compressor kicked in or when I turned the rear defog on.

I am waiting for my blue LEDs to arrive so that I can change out the lights in the dash and window switches. I want to do the cluster too but not sure who that is lit.

I put in a new deck with USB and an SD card ports. Got some new 4 way Sony XPLOD 6 x 9 speakers in the back... still waiting for the 6.5s to come on sale so I can get those too.

My car was mostly plain stock up until I bought out the lease two months ago. Later this year I want to replace the shocks and brakes.

Oh, and I got tint to do the back windows... probably doing that this weekend.

i believe they are thicker, which i guess would make them better if someone doing auto-x or w/e... ive been lookin into those also, but dont reALLY have any use for them, unless mine break, then ill buy the upgraded ones.
