I have new 18x8 wheels coming Tuesday, black SS overlays, Chevrolet caliper decals all on the way. Sending a bunch of things to Mike to get painted within the next week or so. Need to find a new set of tires for the rims and TPMS for them. Then unsure what I will do. Would like to upgrade exhaust, have already removed the resonator. Maybe 4" tips too. Thought about body kit or front lip but will probably pass.

@03SSLE I'll have to look into those suspension kits I dont really need to lower it the roads where I live will punish the car way to much. You should go turbo route but I'm one sided hahaha
Everybody has a nice list to start working on I'm excited to see everything getting pulled out for the spring months, I know it's going to be busy and expensive for me this year, and all of us by the looks of things. Gonna take my front clip off now and start mounting the trans cooler. Lets keep this thread going good ****
