Summer mods... let's hear 'em

I know, I know... Summer isn't here already (in fact it snowed this week), but I was wondering what everyone is planning for their babies this coming season? (can you tell I'm so sick of winter)

With everyone's serious addiction to mods here, I'm sure you guys/gals have to be up to something... if not thinking about it!

For me, first things first, she's off to the tinting shop and then to the audio shop to upgrade my POS sound system "they" call a stereo.

don't be secretive, sharing is caring

hey robyn, what's your take on roll cages for street driving? i've been reading several threads regarding roll cages for street use and the consensus is that it's downright dangerous using a cage WITHOUT a helmet even if the cage has been padded. roll bars we're still regarded as being dangerous (but not as dangerous) as the occupants can still be thrown around even in rigid body seats a la gt3 seats. obviously it's worth it for the track.

got a carbon fiber ruf look bumper (from CDOC) and splitter off ebay ~900. time, and the dip in my driveway, will tell if it is durable enough. don't want to do side skirts (car is sitting low) and am still looking for the right wing. the misha gt2 one, like kirby's, is pretty kewl. im tempted to make my own wing. i have access to CNC machine's so i just might CAD one up. might even be adjustable too!

I just did alcantara interior, Side skirts are were painted today and are still in the oven they told me so they will be ready monday. I am ordering either Avic-N1 or eclipse I have to decide by monday and I will add a rear view camera. I am also missing bumper plugs and I am going to key the key fob and some other interior parts painted. I am considering short shifter and fabspeed bypass pipes but afraid it will be to loud, and as soon as warranty is up I want to put a blower. Oh and I am also looking to buy porsche seats in grey with the crests, either regular 996 with crest or turbo seats with crest in gray, if anyone has any or knows of someone please pm me.
