Spring 08 plans?
Who has mods/plans yet for their rides?
Since I should be getting my tax returns by the end of the month, I know Im going to get a GPS unit for sure, and Im still deciding on Sirius. If so, those are really the only 'mods' I have in mind at this point. Id still love to get the harwood if it wasnt so damn expensive.

paar, which Harwood? i will tell you the harwood ram air hood i had on y WS6 didnt fit all that great, you can see it in a lot of my pics. if you can find the style you want and get it made by VFN, do that. they are cheap and good products from what i hear.

Well before we lost our baby my wife and I were going to buy a house this spring. Now that we don't have to rush we are waiting until next winter to buy a house. So I won't be spending a ton of money on my car this year. As of right now the only thing I know I will do is tint the windows but other than that I can't see doing a whole lot more.
But that's ok because I normally spend so much money on the car I'm way ahead of the curve.

Matt, Im looking at the 2.5 cowl. I dont like the ram air. I can find it for 450, but its the shipping thats expensive.. its like 100+, but then I need it painted too... So Im probably looking at least 300 for that... It gets close to 1000. But I really want that damn hood... I look on ebay sometimes to see if I can find one, but theyre so rare to find.

Ok so since you made this I will spill my guts. I decided against selling the formula instead I have a lot planned, I am going to have it all done at my uncles garage then have it shipped out to me in an enclosed trailer. I have been emailing the seller on ebay by the name of fparts to get mostly everything I need/want. Hopefully I could have it all done my may or june, thats what im shooting for.
-T/A hatch
-T56 transmision, pedal assembly, center console, computer junk to go with it. (If I cant get one im having my auto rebuild with a smaller stall, the 3600 is too rediculous for the car to be drivin daily and it ate 3rd and 4th out)
-Black leather seats + door panels
-Alarm system (not sure what one yet)
-20% tinted windows
-Have the whole car sanded down, do some needed body work and repainted.
-smoothie 2 or TT2 wheels.
Thats about it... for now I'm still decided on a body kit for it or not, waiting to see how it looks with the t/a hatch I like the look of the ws6 formula's, thats sort of what im going for.

Sounds really good Bernotas. Just so you know I have purchased several parts from the eBay seller fparts and have always been happy with them. They do a great job packing the items so they won't break and they sell the parts just as they advertise them.

My plans have changed, I'm going to try selling the car come late March or so. Run an Ebay ad once a month and see what comes from it. Don't have to sell it, so I can be picky on the price, but I'd like to do something different.
