Cool Man , mods, car!

Damn, tax time is here. Not getting much from the state, but the fed will be here and I'm thinking tci shifter, 398.00$ Does anyone here have a cheaper vendor?! Research showed it as a 350.00 dollar item a few years ago.
Also looking at racing stripes,lemans, and finally (I hope) plasti-dip wheels. Oh and some side door window tints,20%.
lessee, There was something else.......hmmmm oh yeah , remember too duck when the ol finds out!!!


ps. I have a shaker 500, anyone know where the aux jack is??lol.

on the 05-06's the Aux is behind the head unit. In 07 they made a jack in the armrest console thingy.

It is done. The transformation begins. I ordered the tci shifter an the eleanor styled grill, agent 47 mirrors will 'are earmarked for august. I have some help so I don't see a major problem with these installs.
I am concerned a lil' bit bout the ''throw'' of the tci shifter, people had issue's with the lower gear selection. If I install the shifter and before I hook up the linkage, manually shift the linkage to first and then shift the tci shifter too first......I should then be able to determine any adjustment is necessary........right?, least thats my theory. Instead of hooking it up in neutral and finding out later..................

OP - my 06 did not have an aux jack and there's no RCA inputs on the back of the head unit. What I installed was this... http://www.amazon.com/Precision-Inte.../ref=pd_cp_e_1 . It's not really hard to install this but be really careful, especially with the tabs on the climate control hookups if you do decide to install this. Its easier if you pull the whole center console out, then pull the head unit and install it, reinstall the head unit, run your cable into the final location (mine was through that little black panel in the console armrest on the drivers side of it) and reinstall the center console. It worked beautifully for me until I sold the car.
