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 :devil: )
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....
