Lightbulb Wish lists!

I first searched to see if anyone has created a general thread containing all the items on their Monte Carlo Wish Lists. I found an old one that KidSpace put together, so I'm starting a new one since I didn't recognize any of the members posting in there.

I know I personally have one with some items already crossed off, but I thought it would make for a really cool thread to see what every one else has on their lists.

Here's mine (bold items are bought/installed):
Part - Price
4157 Chrome Amber turn signal bulbs - 11.99
18” MOMO Strike wheels (black) - 515.00 (mounted +$160)
Dunlop SP Sport Signature (235/50/18) - 650.70
G2 Caliper paint (black) - 36.99
License plate frame (black) - 4.25
Bowtie valve stem caps - 14.90
STB Bars and Brackets - 185.00
Summit Race Mufflers (x2) - 67.85
Magnaflow 35124 Tip (x2) - 60.00
OEM Floor Mats - 39.48
Bowtie Door Sills - 108.00
GM Pedals - 75.00
20% Tint - 130.00
SS emblems (x2) - 16.50
SS overlays - 8.95
SS Headrests - 76.00
K&N Intake - 238.95
3rd Brake Light Decal - 7.99
Hamburger TBS #3264 - 94.90
578 Dome Light LED - 18.78
194 LEDs (x4) - 13.16
Red LED tail lights - 309.79
H11 Osram NightBreaker bulbs (x2) - 73.44
Black Halo Projector Headlights - 253.49
Hogan DP5S - 119.95
GM Heat Soak Reduction Kit - 99.99
POWERSTOP front slotted rotors - 117.98
POWERSTOP rear slotted rotors - 101.98
Posi-Quiet Ceramic Pads (front) - 56.99
Posi-Quiet Ceramic Pads (rear) - 39.99
GrafxWerks Front Bowtie Insert - 34.00
GrafxWerks Rear Bowtie Insert - 34.00
WeatherTech Window Deflectors - 54.95
Vinyl for Eyelids - 10.97

Honestly there is more to it. I wouldn't mind lowering it one day, but until suspension work is actually needed, I'm leaving it as is. There are a lot of other performance mods I wouldn't mind either, but I think these things are more of a priority, especially since I'm still under warranty.

Well share yours!!!

We were the inspiration for this thread.

I'm going in reverse. Cheap(er) things are on my plate right now since my finances are a little low, but I can't control my addiction! lol
You have a lot of stuff on that list that I'd also like to add to mine some day as well, like:
⁃ Trunk Lid Liner
⁃ Paint Under the Hood
⁃ Stainless Steel Brake Lines
⁃ Custom Tune
- Roller Rockers
- Valve springs
- Cam

I just feel like I'm going SOOOO slow but it's just the sheer expense of some of the things I just bought. But now it should be one thing per month? (some of the painting / cheap cheap thing will be multiple per month)

I also have my savings account grabbing some money for the exhaust kit right now. Though I need a new rearview and the brakes first... ugh maybe i'll just bite the bullet and buy those right now.

OK, I guess this is my to do list for my 05 (the 03 is finished): paint rear rotors, get front rotors machined, paint all calipers, repaint the front bumper and hood, smaller pulley, colder plugs, & 180 T-stat. And I guess in that order.
