What do you have left to do to your max before it's "ready" for summer

Things I have left to do to mine:

1)Exhaust--because I broke my stock exhaust last week
2)Camber bolts--because I went through a set of $800 tires last summer
3)Tires--see number 2
4)Strut mount bearings--because mine are shot
5)Exhaust hangar--because I've had a broken one for like a year now
6)Wash/clean my car--since it hasn't been clean since last fall
7)Hood pins/locks--because my hood flaps around on the highway and looks rediculous.
8)Helmet--because I'll be going to the tracks alot this year
9)Brake rotors--because mine have stress cracks all the way through them.

I think that might be it.

Lets see.

1 Exhaust
2 Custom aluminum dash (Just ordered all the aluminum today )
3 New seat covers
4 New custom trunk
5 Install the Sirius sat equipment (got the stuff from backorder in March, 1 week before the car died)
6 New carpet and floormats
7 (possibly) New from bumper cover
Thats all before summer gets here. This summer I have a couple projects planned. Custom turbo, (maybe. depends on financees) and a custom center dash top DIN sized gauge pod. Also toying with the idea of having it motorized to open out of the dash. we shall see....

ugh.. full repaint (damn front bumper keeps losing paint)
install the pile of crap I've been collecting all winter in the garage...
fuel press, EGT, boost gauges..
the hairdryer lookin thing in the garage bolted to the big mass of pipe...
finish 4pt harness on passenger side..
Fidanza flywheel that's serving as a doorstop right now..
replace the MDF crap in the trunk with composites so it's lighter..
finish the rear deck and get the second pair of 12s mounted...
put together and install the 2 piece rotors and fabricate new mounting brackets...

Or did you mean all the stuff I'll actually have time to get done before summer?
uhhhh, wash & wax.
