Last modification was lowering; Bilstein HD Series Struts paired with Canuck Motorsports lowering springs and new GM OE strut mounts. I'm pretty much happy with how the car sits for right now. Next would be upgrading tires this summer for sure and I have had thoughts about going with a new set of wheels at the same time, 19's or 20's, but I don't really want to throw down the cash for wheels right now... maybe another year or two. Also possibly going with the Depo black bezel factory style headlights this spring. We'll see.

Next up is a real intake. then some maintenance & headers.
Thank's it is shiny , but I hope to buff it some more an get to look like chrome.

I did zero mods last year cuz I pulled it out of storage so late and it was back in storage quite soon. I did find some original Dale Jr. floormats (which I never had), but I don't think that counts as modding. The last actual mod I did was the Menziere electric water pump, but I don't usual talk about which mods I have - I like to be mysterious!

I am considering going back to the decal shop again this year. I have an idea...

Your car looks great, and seeing it lowered made me pull the trigger on Canuck Motorsports springs. I just ordered them.

My most recent mod would be a sound system upgrade. I replaced the factory speakers, added subs and 2 amps. Sounds ridiculous...in a very good way.

Next mod will be springs, struts, and new tires.

next mod for me is my custom plasti dipped headlights coming up this spring. body repair doesn't quite count nor does a cleaning of the engine bay. i may do some engine paint if i get bored enough. and my door panels need something that carpet is coming off and i might just get rid of it but i havent decide what color to paint in its place

Thanks, I appreciate the compliment! You'll definitely like the lowered setup. Be sure to post pictures when you do yours.
