1. TruFiber Cobra Roadster Hood (currently being painted)
2. Roush Front Fascia (currently being painted)
3. Roush chin spoiler (currently being painted)
4. Scott Drake Billet Hood Pins (have them, installed the mounts already)
5. Painted 9" Shelby Stripes bumper to bumper
6. 2011 leather take off skins (installed) PITA
7. Interior accent painting two tone and tribar door badges
8. 9 bar retro billet grille ( got it for X-mas will install when I get Roush bumper intalled.)
9. Powered by Ford badges from PPI
10. CAI and Tuner combo
11. New wheels and tires not sure what yet thinking a 18" or 19" staggered chrome setup but if I can find a good deal on craigslist I might do that.

Hoping for a good tax return depending on how much I get back will determine if I am able to get 9-11 or have to wait and work overtime.

I have a build list database for the next few years to come, but since I know I'm probably limited to 1 or 2 performance mods a year and my car is currently stock, here's my first 2 planned upgrades:

1.) CAI Intake w/ Tuner (currently looking at JLT w/ Bama). This will be done in March, as long as I get an end of fiscal year bonus.

2.) 4.10 gears - to be done either in the summer or fall. Gears themselves are cheap, but I've read that installation is an extra $300 - 500, so that will take some planning.

For other upgrades, I've already made some ground on my 2012 list by purchasing the Red Lloyd floor mats, Wheelskins Eurotone black/red wheel cover, and the 14" shorty antenna.

Happy modding everyone!

Thanks man. You already know how I feel about your ride! Planning to have these mods purchased and installed by the AM show this year.

Hopefully

4.10 Ring and pinion

Detroit truetrac (I think my Tloc is wearing out and I like the design of the tuetrac better than the clutch based ones)

and to go with those some forged axels (hay you gotta part way pull them out anyway to put in the ring and pinion so why not) (and this way it'd be a complete upgrade of the rear axel)

maybe some axel backs (I want the corsa's so if I can pull that off then thats what I'll get)

I haven't installed them just yet. I'm waiting to get the strut mounts and koni yellows prior to install. Sorry I couldn't help. They were referred to me by Sam Strano so I'm sure the setup will be great.
