Tinted the yellow and red corner markers, then the lower red reflectors under the rear valance. Made the car look totally different. Then the Silver stripes and the Barton shifter. Lost the clutch helper spring and one of the sponges from the sound tube. I'm done for now.

Flowmaster American Thunder catback came with the car when i bought it. I just replaced a bunch of broken vents, missing radio, and other busted items. It is fun to work on the car.

I don't consider these mods. I view mods as performance or change of factory body appearance. I haven't changed #901's factory performance or appearance or handling. I love it as it was built!

So my first expense was for protection, 3M Clear Mask & tint & the polymer paint protection (which has actually worked very well), all through the dealer (financing - no out of pocket). Then Web Electric sequentials because that should be factory (wasn't in 08). Then Weathertech tub mats. Then Jaeger splash guards. Then matching dead pedal.

So my first actual appearance mod is cam covers for the engine bay:



Now if the docs would quit cuttin on me and feedin me poison, I might just find the energy to put them on!

Had ^these ricer tail lights on her when I bought it.

Very good choice. I just did mine about two weeks ago and it is a great improvement over stock.

It's great! I've been going back and forth with my street & race tune and I've haven't had any issues.
