Winter Plans?

What are everyone's winter plans for their cars?

Here's mine:

Paint hood(won't install until spring since I no longer have a DD)
Install subframe connectors
Build and install side exhaust
tint windows
Possibly some new sway bars and 4.10's(can't decide which one to do first)
Custom rear seat delete to hold my sub and amps

That's what I know for sure but my mod list is always changing.

After that I'd like to get some gfx. Then a cam but that'll cost a lot since I have to upgrade the valvetrain and there's no way the stock clutch will hold it and since I own a '99 I'll have to upgrade the master cyclider and do the drill mod.

paint car and car parts
reupholster interior (hopefully)
tires for new wheels
tint possibly
install some of the little things that have been around for awhile waiting
other that, it all depends on the paint, and what money I have

I've been going back and forth on spray as well. I've done a lot of researching and reading on it and the more I look into it the more I want it.

Hmm My plans are..

Seat Covers
Maybe Halos
And then save for my Sunoco hood

I was gonna ask for the Halo's and Seat Covers for Christmas, and then try to save the my money from working on my hood.. Damn I could get the hood now, but i am going to Cancun this Spring Break so thats where all my moneys going.. But either today or tomorrow im gonna ask for a raise so maybe that will help me get some more money rollin in. So then after the hood I will be doing the lowering but thats not going to really be a winter project, since I know I wont have my hood this winter.. But maybe, just maybe I will be able to put my hood before I got to Cancun...

Winter Plans:

PROSTARS AND ET STREETS w/ APR studs, etc.
Custom Rear Seat Delete for my sub box
completely finish tuning

I was tossing around the thought of spray too for a while, but I ended up going with a TC without a balloon plate becuase I figured it'd just throw my transmission that much faster :/.

Well, for christmas i was getting the following probably....

PaceSetter Headers
Eibach Pro-Kit
Cam (not telling which one)
Gears installed

Well my computer went out, so my dad got me a new one and it costed 900 bucks so no more of the stuff above...maybe a couple off the list but no cam/headers.

Oye...

Exterior:
Custom rear berger panel...
Maybe a few other ideas, money dependant

Interior:
Recover my console lid (damn girl cracked it when she was crawling into the backseat)
Cover my door armrests in fiber.
Smooth and repaint all interior panels
New carpet
Finish headliner
Sub box in rear seat delete, make my car a "two seat roadster"
Possibly reupholstering of seats, money dependant
Possibly retinting side windows, I don't care about the law, I don't like the fact that people can see in and see my carPC

Engine:
Wirelooms
Polishing
Sanding
Painting
Waxing

And possibly a few things on the undercarraige, depends on how busy this stuff really makes me. I only have like 4 months left.

NOOOOO. NOOOO MAGNAFLOW. If you want the right sound with those headers, the Flowmaster 80 series is where it's at.

Flowmasters sound horrid, and they have bad air flow. Magnaflow sounds good, and have better flow.
