Latest round of mods:

Usually around this time my girl and I are getting ready for our yearly trip to Aruba (our timeshare). Sadly this year she has to go without me (yeah I know, pity pity her, the poor thing!) I just couldn't get the time off of work. So the money I usually would have spent is now a bday present to me so let the modding begin! So I really don't know how upset I am about not being able to go, lol...

I am however taking a road trip to Florida to see my family on 4/3 and wanted to make the ride more comfortable.
Currently, Angelina has eibach pro springs w/oem shocks and struts (harsh ride), tunes by Bama, K&N cai, SLP Loudmouths and some body stuff. So with money to burn I've decide on FRPP shocks and struts (actually a bday gift from my girl) to smooth out the ride, some Steeda UDPs, FRPP 4.10's, Rotorpro rotors & brakes and finally installing the Pro 5.0 shifter that's been sitting in my closet for about 3 years

I'm getting excited about this trip south and about Angie again. Ever since my car accident in October it just hasn't felt the same I'm hoping this will put things right in the world again! I'm getting the work done by CJ Pony Parts sometime soon before I leave, wish me luck!

Congrats on the new upcoming mods. Sounds like your drive will definitely be a little nicer. Of course, that does stink that you're unable to go to Aruba. Some sunshine and warm weather would be nice too.

Today was install day for the mods and everything when smoothly, I'm very pleased with the results!

A BIG THANK YOU to Steve, Bill and the rest of the crew at CJ Pony Parts!
The FRPP shocks and struts were a pleasure to ride on.
The Pro 5.0 shifter will take some getting used to, a bit notchy.
The Steeda UDP and the FRPP 4.10's definitely make a difference in how she pulls, well worth it all!

Tomorrow the post office will be redelivering the rotors I ordered from RotorPros, since I was in PA. What a good weekend!

Lookin' good Michael. Enjoy the new toys. Looks like you've got a little helper for installing the rotors.

Add LCA's to those shocks and struts and it will definently smooth out the ride!

Yep its repaired and now has CS bumpers front & rear. Hopefully taking it out of winter storage this weekend. It's sitting on factory wheels but I have a secret set to put on it, plus need to swap out corner lights and rear lights. Need to swap mid-pipes for emissions test Then oil change and wax it, THEN I'll post some good pics ... probably the week of the 12th.

This is how it was put away.

Sonic Blue FTW!!! Absolutely the best color! Looks great man, nice choice with the CS bumpers, I was thinking that when I got hit but last moment went with the 500. Looking forward to the real pics!

Vista but they're both amazing colors. The front bumper was only slightly touched, so didn't want to spend for the GT500 conversion. I actually was only looking at getting the rear, but the front was only a tiny bit more $$ so I went for the CS. Another thing I need to do is see if I can tuck the tail pipes in a bit, they seem to stick out of the CS fascia a bit more. I can't wait to get it setup with the proper combo and then drool on it!
