1) Who's got it?
2) What's on your mod list once the weather breaks?
3) What show/event are you most excited for?

Here I'll start:
1) <------This guy!

2) All parts are already purchased for this list, I just need the weather to get above 40 degrees and stay there as well as dry for a couple days.

A) Projector headlights with hot wired halos on solo switch. eBay specials swapped with PIAA bulbs. Black housing.

B) Projector fog lights with hot wired halos on solo switch. eBay/Spyder specials with PIAA bulbs. Im also swapping out the LEDs in the halos so they actually work and not look like someone left a drink on the coffee table too long. From everyone's reviews Ive read on here that is the main issue with them. Its such an easy fix, I cant believe no one else has done it.

C) Redoing my grille and emblem accents. Grille is getting rattle canned matte black. Mustache is getting rattle canned Nissan K50. Emblems are getting rattle canned Nissan K50 and Im painting the black back into the Nissan letters. I already have this done but it didnt come out great so Im redoing it from what I learned the first time around.

D) Very subtle matte black vinyl accents on the exterior. I dont want to disclose what and where because I dont want any biters! Ill just say Im probably only going to need 4 feet x 6 inches rear, 4 feet x 12 inches front. Bid is out, may approve tonight.

E) If time permits before #3 below, Im going to redo my fiberglass amp mount. Its been in the car 1.5 years and it got a little beat up. Im either going to repaint it or try and wrap it in vinyl or upholstery.

3) CARLISLE!

Sword cross!

Going to check in on the "Posting while Drunk" thread in gen chat...

EDIT: I guess I should mention that if I had a performance mod to strive for, it would be on the list too. But I have most bolt ons, and Im satisfied. No cash for the big time.

I am debating on ordering halo fog projectors (ebay ones) or LED drl's.

If I go with the fogs, what is the best way to switch out the leds in them?

Do you have the y-pipe? I'm planning on only getting the exhaust and am wondering if it still sounds as good.

Yes I have Y pipe as well. Love the sound of the pair, but I imagine the Borla sounds great on its own as well.

DReed86 and Sndtgr08 are from VA, they both travel to Carlisle and they also both post up a bunch of pics from big Z meets. You will find your way to one of them.
