    My Summer Mods List:
    -Fit HD Flex Plate
    -Get Exhaust Tucked More
    -Finish Boot Install
    -De-Rattle Interior
    -4 New Tyres
    -Connect Carbon Canistor
    -Replace D/Side Rear Bumper End
    -Proffesional Exterior Detail (Claybar/Cut/Polish/Wax/Buff)

    Now... What is YOURS?!?

    Cheers
    MaT

    New Brake pads, maybe rotors.
    Possibly a new cover on the back and some spotlights.
    Work out why it hates sitting in traffic.

    Most money will be pumped into a new computer setup, so the car is mainly going to be maintained, and not many goodies this year.
