Car wash...

No car washes. Especially with a black car.

This summer I'll be adding a Steeda Cowl hood and repainting the whole car a blackcherry color. In effect, just a deeper shade of the redfire. I'm saving my $$ for it....

Depends on the weather (stored for winter) but it will be one of the following packages. Both will happen but I'm unsure which one first.

1) 20% Tint (simple huh?)

-or-

2) GT/CS rear bumper and antenna delete on front fender

i would go with number 1 as your first mod. like you said its a simple process! so why not just get it out of the way real quick. as a matter of fact i need to replace the tint on my windows being they are scratched from the windows going up/down. i need to look into that moleskin kit for when i do the tint.

I'll chime in here. Just picked up my ford racing springs and as soon as the snow clears I will be tinting it up.

Considering a blackout panel between the tails on my vista, also considering the Moss black taillight bezels (my tails are already spray tinted). I like the clean look of my car, so not adding anything too gaudy (i.m.o.)

I bought the car with a GT500 spoiler, but I've always loved the cervini ducktail.. continually arguing is it worth it. I like the GT500 but when I see the ducktail in pics it always rekindles my thinking.

First exterior mod should be the lower grille insert from Silver Horse Racing. I'm considering going with some smoked turn signals; I'm happy with my vinyl but feel the smoked would be a better look I wanted to change my HID's capsules for something like 6000k's but cannot find any replacements (OEM HID's). Looking to slightly darken my tail lights with vinyl.

The main goal is the rims. I want some black with polished tipped bullitts. I've narrowed it down to FRPP and AFS. Trying to keep a flush look (non-deep dish). Just having a hard time with which one would be the best option. Either way, I'll be custom powder coating the black to a satin black finish. Decisions, decisions.

It'll be more performance oriented this year

I did sequentials on 12/29/08, so that doesn't count.
I just ordered black bezel trim for my taillights. Some tint later on, and the exterior will be pretty much done.

Just picked up a CDC classic chin spoiler and plan to have it painted body color (Alloy), along with my OEM GT/CS side scoops, as soon it arrives. Hoping to have this done by the end of Jan.
