First comes paying the car off. If I have any more expendable income, I'll put 4.10s in it and begin gathering parts for the Eaton Swap.

I actually have considered going to a different color, the novelty might be short lived though.

Would you mind sharing the company name.
If all else fails I may get a set of factory springs and cut a coil.

MM stock is sleeping for the winter, but come spring:
1- SCT 3 Tune (without a doubt)
2- CAI (without a doubt) probably JLT, performance same & cost hands down, but still hoping someone has a used PHP for sale which I would jump on, I like the way they look but not for $400, got one to sell, PLEASE contact me.
3- Toying with exhaust cut outs, still looking for more feedback from members that currently have them ie, video with sound, also + & - of them. Got some please send.
May I suggest DBP... ;)

I want to also do the fuel filter upgrade deal.
Did I teach a Mighty Marauder guy something? You'll want to use a brake line cutter, and some of these (http://commonwealthinc.ca.c9.previewy oursite.com/ESW/Images/2123_fuel_line_clamps.jpg) style clamps. Oh, and of course some fuel injector line. I went with a high flow fuel filter from Steeda also.
edit: replace front upper and lower control arm bushings with the Moog bushings I have sitting in my garage that have been there for 4 months.
Sell this Zex nitrous kit, and buy a more reliable one. Either NX or NOS.
Replace my trans when it goes, I'm sure it's on borrowed time. 173K and counting.

1) Make sure hitching problem is solved (bucking at 2200 RPMS on highway - previous threads) I think I got it, but I have thought that before...
2) Fix squeaks in center console and tighten down sub in trunk.
Oh, MODS, I get it.
1) Recoat OEM wheels with powder clear or textured black or black chrome.
2) MAYBE tint rear windows 35%
I think I have done everything else.

I'd stay around 35% is safe to keep surrounding LEO's off your glass detector stop.

You would be correct Sir, depending on your states laws.

Up here you can go as dark as you want on the rears. We aren't allowed to touch the fronts. Though I realize your comment it is likely to indicate that making the rears that dark could make the fronts look tinted too.
Then in the case of that stop we see what type of LEO we have - one that apologizes and admits the mistake or one that makes up some BS reason why they stopped you in the first place.
So I see your point.
