first and foremost a tune! i want to get an intake manifold on it first, thinking professionally ported ls2 with a pro products 90mm throttle body, 85mm maf and a 104mm lid.
paint the nose and rear bumper cover of the car, possibly remove ground effects.
PST aluminum driveshaft
lowering springs in the front

camarokid91 look into the burkhart bumper support brackets, very nice pieces and save alot of weight!

My ground effects are coming off finally. I will definitely have to look at into those supports. I hope to get car down to 3000-3100 which seems easily achieved. Also I will be stepping up to Hoosier a6s . On a side note we should plan day and have everyone register for a local auto X event. A 5th gen forum does it 3 times a year I think it would be cool to do the same next year.

Just a few small things for me including replace third brake light, maybe get a CAI.

Ok so I have a few minor things that I'll be looking to do this winter. Not much because working in the cold sucks balls and don't have a garage to really do anything to the car at the moment anyways.

-Find a replacement rim for the one that got chewed by a curb by previous owner - Done, at least I hope

-Do some more reasearch into purchasing lca's, panhard and stb.

-Replace the carpet, previous owner replaced it with this horrendous aftermarket shit that bunches up more than a womans panties.

-Find a good autobody person/place to get an estimate on respraying the whole car the way I want. Anybody know a guy who does lacework?

-Clean up the engine bay and do the wire tuck mod.

-Fix the cracked dash cover, either epoxy and fiberglass it or just find a new one.

-Replace the front and rear sidemarkers with either clear or blackouts.

That's pretty much all I can think of, most of it will probably just be ran into the spring/summer months since I'll be driving the car this winter.

@SLP if you do get rid of those gfx, let me know man. I'd probably be pretty interested in the front pieces. Not sure how the wings west piece I got off My84Z is going to look on the car.
