Update on my car!

As most of you know i had a poll of what stuff to get for my car, so heres what am getting / already gotten.

Slp Firehawk/BFG tire combo, they are awesome looking and are my garage waiting for install.

Ram Air I hood on its way in a few weeks, just ordered it.

Eibach pro-kit, also in my garage waiting for install..

I also ordered a bunch of suspension stuff from Spohn.
Also have full slp exhaust on its way in a few weeks.

Once i get the hood I will make another thread and post some pics..

Well thanks for looking and helping me decide on what to get..

After these mods i want to get some tint and then a fresh coat of black paint.

I think i will leave the stock rubber busings in there for now..

I bought the suspension mods to mostly go in a straight line, because i was tired of just spinning the tires and losing races because of that.

I will most likely get the tint soon also, just on the hatch and side windows..

It's only money, right? You can't take it with you when your gone, and you can always make more. That's what I told my wife. So she went out and bought a Coach bag
