For the GTO, I am in the process of purchasing a 3 piece wing, side skirts, a new rear bumper, quad tips and Holden emblems to make it look like the Australian version, end result will be similar to this:

What the car currently looks like as refrence, except the rear valance came off and I did not replace it due to the overall swap:

This spring, I plan to do the following:
- ZZPerformance ER Rockers
- ZZPerformance HV3
- Polished Aluminum F-Body Valve Covers
- L67 Throttle Body (custom modified)
- ZZPerformance Power Log
- Port-matched Lower Intake
- A PCM Re-tune

Currently, my car has:
- Aluminum Pedal Covers
- UMI Performance Rear Trailing Arms
- Custom Door Sills
- GM MP3 Radio 10348717 (not offered on the Monte)
- ZZPerformance 2.5" Downpipe w/ High Flow Cat
- L67 Coil Packs

And the "wish list" of what I'd like to do in the future:
- '06-'07 Stand Up Spoiler
- Strut Tower Braces
- New Rims/Tires
- Ram Air Fiberglass hood

I'm anxious to get ripping into my mods this year :)

The only mod I plan on doing is painting my brake calipers red. Otherwise thats it.

The Red 03 is done! The 05 will probably need some damage control from the winter - seeking out the rust and hopefully fixing it and painting the calipers. Other than that - no more performance mods for either car.

Just bought a stage 3 blower and stage 2 tb that are due on in the spring, plus getting my license plate cover and SLP Grille painted. sometime gotta get a new rim to fix the one i bent just before winter

Y'all have got some awesome mods lined up! My monte's mod plan has been altered a bit bcuz of how much school is gonna be cutting into my work time (=less money) soooo since I'm not sure what all will be done before car show season for sure or not, I'm just gonna keep it a secret until they are all done =D

What? No preview at all? Come on! lol

Mod's planned for the coming year or so:
- Magnaflow mufflers (maybe resonator too...)
- ZZP high velocity intake insert
- KYB adjustable struts
- Cold air intake
- ZZP PCM

Nothing too radical. Just a few simple changes to make it perform / feel a little sportier.

That GTO looks much better in rear shots then front ones IMO. Cool car, no doubt!

I'm not modding much in the spring since I got a big trip I planned in May and I don't want to blow it up before that. I can't afford it to be on the shelf before that. No racing before that either.

But a bit of a coincidence and contradiction to mogwogs plan, in the spring I intend to change out my Magnaflow mufflers and tips. They look good, but it sounds like crap. It sounds like an airplane and is no good for travel. I got a good line on Solo Performance mufflers, so I'm going to try those out. They seem of a higher quality then I've ever seen and are much nicer then the Magnaflows (although not as infamous). They also offer quiet 3" options
