Default What was your last mod, and what is your next?

We all have something we want to do to our Montes (or if you're lucky you have more than one car to mod), and if you're like me you have an ever-growing grocery list of mods big and small on your to-do list, and you have grown addicted to the feeling of satisfaction you get when you are able to cross one more modification off the to-do list. If you're even more like me, your mod list grows every time someone shows off their updates.

My most recent mod completed was new black housing headlights and black housing LED tail lights:





Next mod is probably going to be lowering about 2", lowering springs courtesy of Mitch. ...someday maybe

So what is your newest mod and what is next up on your list? And remember

3in stainless non catted w-Bodystore down pipe, chunk of pipe and glass pack in place of stock res,

Down pipe becuase well the performance upgrade and my stock one was f'd after knocking out the cat( messed up the flex piece) put the small chunk of pipe and glass pack becuase i figure i may as well replace it while i was there and thed stock res was rusty anyways







Next mod idk if you would call it a mod but will be a multi step paint correction

I also will say my last mod was the engine prices I reprinted and I used just spray paint and primer. It looked good actually. I can't post pictures through my iPod, maybe later through my phone!
