Default First things to do with new GT...

so i went ahead and got the car i previously posted about (seen here) and im going to check it out this weekend, and if all goes well, drive it home

so, after getting this bad boy home, whatre some things i can/should do with it (not counting mods) when i get it home? i mean simple things like armor all'ing the dash, treating the leather, getting some floor mats, etc.

then, what about some other simple things, like putting some better spark plugs, etc? looking for any and all suggestions in this arena..

will post pics later this weekend! thanks again!

I personally use those armorall wipes things and that powerjel stuff (for exterior). I dont have leather, so I don't know the best treatment for that, as for plugs, either bosch plat 2 or bosch plat +4 (i use these, but they're $5.99 ea). Don't forget to vaccum, and you can use soap + water to wash out/shine the rims... (unless they're chrome, I dont have chrome, so I cant help there either). But yea, that should work :-p

ARMORALL = teh poop!

You'll start to notice fading and even a yellow tint at it's worst. No no no...do it right use Meguiar's everything. Wheel cleaner, soft scrub soap, quick interior detailer, leather treatments etc. He may be a tad more expensive but it's defenitely worth it. As for floor mats it depends what you wanna do on your interior. I prefer ford racing or ones with a big pony on em
